    The meeting focused on addressing the controversial “Lev Tahor” group and the troubling reports emerging from within. The rabbis discussed possible actions, heard testimonies from respected figures involved, and received updates from activists. The goal was to unify the community against the group.

    Key speakers included the Satmar Dayan of Antwerp, the Sighet Rav, and renowned activist Moshe David Niederman, who has led legal efforts against the group. Testimonies came from Rabbi Ezra Moshe Kaira, Moshe Aharon Gutman, and a grandfather whose seven grandchildren are involved in the sect.

    The gathering was concluded by activist Shimon Yisroel Posen, who provided a detailed overview of the ongoing situation.

    I think it is most important that the authorities see that we are united in not holding their hands. Certainly we do not wish harm against any Jew but this crazy group has to be roasted so that the women and children have a chance at a healthy and normal life.

    So it can be done. We can get the rabbonim to sit, talk and agree.
    Now do agunos.

    Wow. The sad situation with so many children and young adults involved in this sect is truly heartbreaking and is on many in the communities mind . Pray that it’s great to hear that the leadership is involved in it.

    Since Lev Tahor isn’t headquartered in BP, title more appropriate as ‘Historic Gathering in Boro Park of Leading Rabbis Unites Against Controversial ‘Lev Tahor’ Group’

    Contoversial ?!?
    There is nothing controvesial about these evil amoratzim, that have perverted the Torah for their own depraved pleasure. The women, children, and innocent men need to be rescued, and the deacadent , degenerate leaders of this cult need to be locked up, and kept away from society.

    who would want to join such a nut group as Lev Tahor? You have to have something wrong upstairs to even consider them as a path in Orthodoxy.

    Minchas Eluzar, and ybd”l his grandson Munkatch rebbe in his footsteps, were/are especially focused on Pidyon Shvuim. I guess in this case (as reported by this story) the Shvuim are the children and women who need to be rescued from their Jewish captors

    What was discussed and what was the outcome? What are the steps – if any that will be done to a) stop them, b) save those that want out?

    What’s this whole meeting for? It’s obvious to everyone that LT is a problem and LT doesn’t give a damn about the meeting. Maybe use their time for something more constructive.

    I wonder if there was a meal afterwards and was on the menu.
