Rabbi Eli Simpson has invested years on a relentless quest—digging through the layers of Jewish history to uncover truths buried in plain sight. His research brings to light stories we thought we knew… until now.
In this Podcast series, he tackles one of the Torah’s most puzzling confrontations: the violent clash between Dasan and Aviram. But this isn’t just a sibling squabble—it’s a gateway into a deeper narrative of power, fear, and betrayal.
Why were two brothers willing to kill each other in broad daylight?
What did Moshe really see when he asked, “Why would you strike your fellow?”
How did Dasan instantly know about the Egyptian’s death—if Moshe had ensured no one was watching?
And perhaps most mysteriously: why would Moshe, a royal Egyptian prince, flee for his life based solely on their words?
This isn’t the version you heard in school. This is the story beneath the story—an untold drama of political tension, spiritual danger, and ancient secrets hiding in the text itself.
Listen now to uncover what they never told you about Dasan and Aviram.
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and most podcast streaming platforms.
