According to the report, cult-members Yoel and Shmuel Weingarten have been arrested.

This is one of several raids conducted by US and Guatemalan forces on Lev Tahor over the past few years. Most recently, this past March, their leader Yaakov Weinstein was arrested. In 2019, four members were indicted after the kidnapping of two children, whose mother had taken them with the intention of bringing them back to Lev Tahor.

Most charges against the arrested members stem from kidnapping and child abuse offenses.

Can someone just finally put these thugs in an asylum, where they belong, and rescue the rest of those innocent women and children.

Why are the faces of these reshayim blurred? It’s better we all know what they look like.

FWD: Ben Ashkenazy, a Jewish billionaire duped the Lev Tahor community by offering financial assistance, and lured the Weingarten’s to his private helicopter in the Lev Tahor property, and assisted the FBI in apprehending Yoil and Shmiel Weingarten.

One can argue that CRT and all the rest that’s being cloaked in the name of social justice, is also child abuse and brain washing through shaming and injecting guilt for being traditional.

Freedom of religion comes with a price as do all freedoms, like first and second amendment.

Before you all express your hate to them, why don’t you get angry at the reform and open orthodox gangs that destroy children’s neshomas.

Why is local cults not on the hit list – Example: Square Town etc. They are doing the exact same thing Lev Tahor is doing but with a nice face to the public.
Same un-education, same restrictions, woman must walk on the other side of the street, same arraigned marriages, same forcing woman to cut off their hair, taking attendance who shows up a the leaders tish, cross him and you will be burned down etc. What is the difference??
Okay Lev tahor makes them wear burkas – is that what this is all about?

I am for religious freedom. One man’s religion another person’s cult. Today it’s them tomorrow it’s Skver or Satmar, all that’s holding up is the political clout these entities hold, once the blacks take over, we’re out.
