Are new short film released by Lev Tahor Survivors contains leaked audio and video proving that the Lev Tahor cult has been using lies and manipulation to fool Orthodox Jewish supporters and the government of Canada.
Uriel Goldman has raised millions of dollars to fund Lev Tahor, a cult that has been accused of child abuse and neglect, whose leaders are in prison on charges of kidnapping and child exploitation. The cult has continued to thrive following the death of its leader Shlomo Helbrans and the one constant driver managing the fundraising, abuse, and media representation is Uriel Goldman.
In the newly released video, Yoel Levy, a Lev Tahor survivor, exposes Goldman’s method of telling people what they want to hear, including numerous outright lies, via leaked audio and video.
Yoel meets another cult survivor, Yaniv Assis, today a respected teacher in a Hasidic school in Jerusalem, who recalls that the cult operated as “organized crime.”
Levy then compares Uriel Goldman to the “head of a mafia,” using leaked footage of Lev Tahor members celebrating Yom Ha’atzmaut with an ultra-Zionist supporter and contrasting it with claims in the media of being anti-Zionist.
In another leaked clip – this from a recorded Zoom meeting, Goldman claims that the cult has never forced anyone under 13 into marriages, contradicting court and media statements stating that 16 was their minimum age for marriage.
He also exposes a lie that fooled the government of Canada into giving former cult leader Shlomo Helbrans refugee status from the state of Israel.
After proving that the refugee status was built around sworn attestations by Goldman that he had been a member of Israeli intelligence sent to Lev Tahor to spy on Helbrans, the video plays leaked audio from a phone call with an Iranian official in which Goldman admitted, “because they’re doing so many lies against us, so I made also.”
The short film comes as brother Shmiel and Yoel Weingarten arrive in New York after being extradited by Guatemala following a July 2021 raid on their remote compound near Oratorio.
The brothers are being accused of child kidnapping, abuse, and exploitation.
This individual are the product of how they were raised, important to go after the source
Extreme is not part of our religion, any extreme behavior practice by anyone, you are dealing with brain wash individual / mentally unstable, actually extremely dangerous to any civilized society. They need professional specialized help. They should be treated as medical patients , not enemy . They could one day be part of the society and productive individuals…
This has to be dealt in a professional manner and not in/with a emotional approach.
Teshuva Now
Don’t tell me to feel bad for them they are like animals these people they have to stop them now!!!!!!
‘extreme is not part of our religion’
What would you call chabad, then?
They were exposed on the shared video on one lie, which the guy defends and “rationalizes.” It appears to be a criminal enterprise but the headline makes it sound far more dramatic than it is. This served to dull the impact of this apparently reprehensible cult.
It’s time the truth came out.
Maybe some of the children of the cult can still be saved.
bs”d This is collive. Can you see a community under fire (religious communities generally have a hard time in Canada, since Covid lockdowns began, there is kind of a plan that this is all part of), can you look and see fellow Jews? Yes, if you find some other videos you’ll see some very disturbing things… but not as disturbing as other communities on this continent, which are not Jewish… and I won’t elaborate. I do not want anyone to have nightmares. But, don’t forget about Chofetz Chaim. Yes, one friend of mine who is affiliated with Lubavitch once said,… Read more »
I don’t think anyone read the whole thing
I read every word and i cant exactly say I agree with it all
bs”d I did not close my parentheses or quotes, the whole rant is too stream-of-consciousness, but, a mainstream Canadian channel did a long documentary in 2014 on YouTube re. Lev Tahor and were most concerned that young people were in arranged marriages, and did not have a chance to find their own partners, which is not really an idea that is normal for those of us within the Orthodox community. My problem above was that then I used parallel wording, the phrase ‘not allowing’, with parallel phrasing but for a concept for which I intended the opposite conclusion. I wanted… Read more »
The issues being brought up against Lev tahor are not the issue mainstream Yidden have with them, although perhaps disturbing to some. Most issues in the trailer are being done out of context.
It’s their tendency to not have any true backing from current Rabbonim. The same ehrliche yidden could technically find anyplace in NY to live, had they not chosen to play the fringe.
