I remember seeing Mendy’s story a few months ago and it broke my heart. I’m so happy you guys have each other because no one else will ever truly understand what happened in your house other than your siblings. As long as you hold each other close you will never be alone. Praying that your family is reunited in happiness 💛
Yoel is a truly remarkable young man! He grew up only speaking Yiddish, picked up Spanish from a few converts around them & taught himself Hebrew & English. That's amazing! I hope he's continued to have a happy & successful life. If anyone has an update on him, please let me know.
I knew they are bad but what you described is crimes on a whole different level. You are a a hero, and may Hashem bless with lots of bracha and hatzlach and you should be reunited with the rest of your family soon.
I'm so Impressed with this Young Man's Will.... I mean he knows 4+ languages, has traveled the Globe, escaped a Cult, and was strong enough To Talk About and Expose these Creeps~! Gosh, if only we had More people Like You~!
Wow, this guy is an absolutely strong person. I am a survivor of extreme abuse, where it was happening to me in plain sight, where no-one did a thing about it, I was completely isolated in it, and had no-one to help or give me protection also. I KNOW what it means to be this isolated, and how extremely rough it is to escape it. You're reputation and life is completely destroyed and damaged before you even have a chance to form a reputation or life for yourself. When I see fellow survivors like this person, it makes me realize how strong of a person I am too. I couldn't imagine the language buriers, and how these people ensured to isolate their victims so extremely, that they even made sure that they couldn't even speak the same language of the society they were surrounded by to seek help to escape. This guy has a great head on his shoulders. He deserves ONLY the best for the rest of his life.
@@Ari__Character I completely understand. It’s the same with me. And when society doesn’t recognize this fact, it’s even harder to escape and get away from it. What I went through to get away from it, is the same thing people go through when they escape that cult Scientology. It’s extremely frightening when there’s zero help and you’re on your own. I don’t think people realize how strong we are as people.
I was your neighbour when the cult was in Quebec, I lived on Ch. Lendman ( the man of the group used to pray at the beginning of the street that I was on the dead-end street there (was a lake), I remember seeing the women there in COLOURED clothing. I believe that the caretaker of properties name was Maurice). I knew you guys were Jewish, (but that's all I knew at the time). I'm really glad to see that some of the survivors are actually coming out with their stories. I know it's hard to break away, but you're doing it, keep at it you're doing an amazing job. איך בין געווען דיין חבר ווען דער קולט איז געווען אין קוויבעק, איך געלעבט אויף טש. לענדמאן ( די מענער פון דער גרופע פלעגן דאווענען ביים אנהייב פון די גאס אז איך בין דארט געווען אויף דער טויטער גאס (איז געווען א אזערע ) , איך געדענק אז איך האב געזען די פרויען דארט אין קאלירטע קלײדער , איך גלייב אז דער אויפזעער פון פראפערטס נאמען איז געווען מאָריס). איך האָב געוווּסט, אַז איר זענט ייִדיש, (אָבער דאָס איז אַלץ וואָס איך האָב דעמאָלסט געוווּסט). איך בין טאַקע צופרידן צו זען אַז עטלעכע פון די לעבנ געבליבענער קומען טאַקע ארויס מיט זייער דערציילונגען. איך וויסן עס איז שווער צו ברעכן אַוועק, אָבער איר טאָן עס, האַלטן עס, איר טאָן אַן אַמייזינג אַרבעט. אני מתנצל, אני מתרגם את זה מאנגלית. הייתי השכנה כשהכת הייתה בקוויבק, גרתי בצ'. לנדמן (הגברים של הקבוצה נהגו להתפלל בתחילת הרחוב שבו הייתי, ברחוב ללא מוצא היה אגם), אני זוכר שראיתי את הנשים שם בלבוש צבעוני פשוט צפות על האגם. אני מאמין ששם המטפל בנכסים (היה מוריס). ידעתי שאתם יהודים, (אבל זה כל מה שידעתי בזמנו). בהיותי נער בעצמי, לא היה לי הרבה מה לעשות.
@@VerkingKerng I did a massive snort when I read your comment. 🤣 I find it relentlessly off-putting (as well as utterly bizarre) when people just quote reams of bible passages on youtube, with seemingly zero understanding of what it is to be an actual human being... I find the people doing the _real_ work of God/the Universe/Goodness/Whatever are always those at the forefront, helping, actively making a difference, not just spouting stuff like an absolute rando.
Wow. Absolutely heart breaking. I can't imagine not knowing the words ' I love you '. I wish them well and hopefully he's reunited with his little brother very soon.
Fascinating and extremely sad Documentary.. These child abusers need to be brought to justice ASAP . What a stain this puts yet again on the Decent Jewish Faithful. Israel and Government you need to stop this set of MAD men and women ‘leaders’ immediately and free the Jewish people who they hold hostage and imprisoned and sadly abused ...Absolute DISGRACE IN THE MODERN WORLD 🌍
So glad you are both safe. You are both so very strong. I left home at 16 due to abuse. Work hard and love others, show them the acceptance and watm heart you were denied by your old community leaders.
I'm so glad this young man and his brother followed their instincts and decided to leave circumstances they were born into. That is truly courageous; leaving the known for the unknown. As someone once said, "leap and the net will appear" (quote attributed to John Burroughs).
I’m not religious at all, but I don’t knock anyone for being religious, only knock people who insist on controlling what someone else believes. And sadly the ones it works best on are young unmolded minds. What I really came to comment on is, what Burroughs is referring to sounds like faith, or “a leap of faith”. I tend to look to see if the metaphorical “net” is already there before I “leap”, just as I look both ways before crossing a street. However, there are many times in life where we must jump into the unknown if we are to grow. Thanks for the thought provocation with that quotation, I appreciate it!
This was heartbreaking. Yoel and Mendy should be extremely proud of themselves for making it out of that group, I hope Yoel gets custody of Mayer very soon, and better yet, that all their siblings and many more make it out.
Shiezoli has the best content on Lev Tahor. Honestly, there is so little information on Lev Tahor online, Shiezoli is by far the most authoritative source on Lav Tahor, their videos are extremely well made (without the subtitles you wouldn't be able to follow or understand half of what they're saying in their broken english), and it gives you an inside view of the darkest things happening within their walls. They have an amazing collection of footage, letters, and things you just cannot find anywhere else. I rewinded and paused the video a few times so I can read the letters of Helbrans suicide note, etc. I just never saw this info anywhere else (they should honestly open a library just on Lev Tahor). It's just amazing work. Guys, keep it up! And continue raising awareness and spreading this message all over.
You and your brother are so brave! As a Jew I am sickened by this cult, Lev Tahor! Jewish people are a community of kind, caring and respectful people who put family first - always. They are a community that love and protect one another while helping each other and others thrive. I’m so sorry for your pain and I hope your future is bright! Someone needs to stop Lev Tahor now!!🥹
No one can be part of a community of kind and respectful people while condoning or committing abuse of others. As long as Israel is trying to commit ethnic cleansing, any Jewish people who don't actively oppose it will be complicit and cannot call themselves a kind person.
No one can call themselves "kind, caring and respectful", may they be Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Atheist or a follower of any other belief, until they see the suffering of Palestine. The suffering of millions of mothers and children who are now homeless, orphans and starve every single day, just because of the madness and ethnic cleansing by Israel. Lev Tahor's people and Palestinians are all going through abuse and pain.
Let's stop Judaism at the same time, and while we're at it, Islam Christianism and every religion that encourage believing in lies told by men that pretend to be connected to the word of a God they invented
This is extremely well made - well done for the film quality never mind the content. He was so brave to escape. He is an amazing young man speaking yiddish, Spanish, English and Hebrew and thank you so much for doing this in English (my language). So strong and wise and sensible. I hope those of the rest of his family who want to leave can leave. They need more publicity otherwise people will keep donating to them. It was the same with the FDLS cult in the US - they used the media with the polygamous wives in old fashioned dresses and lots of cute children to make you think the group was religious and good but in both cases under the surface because of the isolation and strict rules people abuse the power and hurt children. I have no problems with anyone choosing a life to lead with their family however differently from mine in the UK but you must follow both the law of the land (no under age marriage etc) and no physical abuse of children. The other issue I believe some have said Lev Tahor has used is some drugs used against people. The FLDS group (never mind groups like Scientology) also took children from one family and into another (never mind marriage of underage girls and child abuse of boys and girls) - this is pretty awful always because children form bonds with siblings and parents and being removed breaks that attachment and destroys your sense of stability and love.
I to am a survivour. Im 68 live in NZ. I was told to shut up and various other things. My mothrr found out when i was13. I was told again to shut up because my grandfather would kill my father and it would be my fault. I had a misscarriage at 14 and still told to shut up. This boy is strong snd amazing. GOD bless him
This is a crazy cult though, Lev T aren’t indicative of Orthodox or Reform Judaism at all, we all know that they are crazy. They were practically banished from Israel and every country they’ve been in!
Full respect for having the courage to leave hell on earth ! You are a real inspiration and I can only imagine how much Hashem loves you for being so strong !!!
I am heartbroken at the ongoing abuse of these children! And it makes me sick to know those leaders are hiding behind the guise of religion, corrupting any faith for power is disgusting. Thankful to hear this strong young man’s story and hope so much for he and his brother to be happily reunited with the young siblings they were forced to leave behind to escape.
You are very brave and have been through very terrifying times. Look how bright you are; you speak Hebrew, Yiddish, Spanish and English, most learned by yourself. I pray for those who are still in Lev Tahor and for you, Ha-Shem will look after you and guide you. Maybe this was his mission for you. Try not to lose your faith in Him. You were lied to by the leaders in Lev Tahor but now let Ha-Shem heal your wounds and guide you. He will be with you. You are a Mensch and my Jewish brother. Sei Gesunt!
I grew up in a similar world, I can’t stop crying. I’m so happy you had someone waiting for you with open arms on the outside. I’m so sorry you didn’t know what love was but I hope you receive more of it in your life than you know what to do with
I can’t even imagine people converting to this kind of life 😵😵 I converted to Judaism but not to that kind of life no way ….I believe it is important to share this as much as possible so no one will fall into this anymore ……..
@12:50 he says "kol hame'sameach chasan" clearly omitting "kallah". I used to think they're just fanatic to an extreme, but I guess they're not even Jews anymore, that's a new religion entirely.
I recently met one of their members. He was on my flight from Istanbul to London, he denied most of the things happening there. He told me not to believe in the bias against them. I feel sorry for you Mr yoel, God bless you 🙏
@@yhwhechad it's not the right thing to do. You must face a person knowing that he's got emotions too, no matter his opinions or intentions. I've faced Muslim extremists too. You took to them you only become smarter 😊
Always know God never lied to you. Humans did. May God heal you. Your love of your brother is beautiful. May God help you to free him of this evil cult.Your strength inspires me.
I grew up on a remote Native American reservation in the USA. I have been curious and looking into several different types of cultures in my free time. The Jewish people, in particular, remind me of my culture. Not religion, we had no "religion" in the proper term, but the culture of a close community. It appears that Jews may fight eachother a bit, but all in all the infrastructure of your people to survive, not assimilate and not be absorbed into the world around you is commendable. It reminds me of my people as well. The ability to call bullshit in your own faith, to defend your people even against the extremists of the faith is commendable. It is honestly rarely seen in most other religions, and in my case...rarely seen in my culture. I ask for prayers for my people if it does not offend your people. My people are decaying, we will not survive, this I know. It's complicated for us to get justice even if our perpetrators are our fellow tribesmen.
@Maiyn yay! So are the aboriginals only one tribe or more? If so, do they speak a traditional tongue or did colonialism wipe it out? 🤔 Were any of you guys sea people? I heard that the aboriginals are one of the oldest tribal cultures, is that true still? I know that many undocumented tribes in the Amazon have been seen and have asked for help in some ways. Just curious. What are your origin stories? And did any of the tribes had "religion" or was it misunderstood by colonialism?
@Maiyn so interesting. Is "stolen generation" the same act of "breed them out"? In America, the Spaniards were far worse about that. Steal women for baby farms. Then after the trail of tears, we were forced to.give up our children at 5 years old for forced boarding schools. That wiped out entire tribes, about 150 tribes died in those schools. The Dawes Act after that, faced a problem with plains natives. Particularly the Pawnee and Comanche. But more so...they needed men to settle there and map the lands. So an Act was passed that if you are "native", you can buy the land for $5. Which would have been nice, but over 98% of that land was sold under the table with fake paperwork. White and black people that we call "$5 indians". After that we were given free healthcare but our women were forcibly sterilized every single time it could happen. That happened up into the 1980s. It's been a long history BS after the revolution. Over 430 of the 500(ish)treaties were broken. Majority were offenses on "our wombs", meaning they tried to destroy our women. Our women are held in high stature in comparison to the rest of the world at the time. American government knows this, and use it to this day.
I have heard a little about this on the news. I’m so glad he and his brother are out and that he shared this. People need to know about abuse. I pray for him to have peace.
If you're praying for someone to die then you are in the wrong place my friend. You don't need God's help to live this small mortal life but you'll need his mercy hereafter.
When I finished watching this video I had tears in my eyes 😥 and tried to imagine how difficult your life was im so sorry hearing that so many kids are going through such a rough time every minute of your life. and for you Yoely I must tell you you are a hero keep it up and let’s hope to God that it’s should be many more survivors soon!
As a Christian, l was completely horrified about the conditions and un-Godly rules of the Lev Tahoe cult, also the child abuse and separation from their mother's! Am proud of you and your brother getting out and discovering God is a loving God. My prayer is all your family and friends get out and find God's love too. This cult needs more truthful exposure and be shut down!! All the best for you and your brother. 🦘😊
Omg you guys, dudes...you guys are amazing. Its seriously bananas growing up in a cult and you guys are amazing for getting out. Big hugs from a cult kid in Canada. 😭💖🙌🌿
The father raised two brave young men in Yoel and Mendy. I really hope for their mother and young brother to follow them out of the evil cult. And I pray for them to continue their courageous journey and know they got out from a smaller cult to a bigger and more evil one
Today the Guatemalan government has freed those children. I hope you can help with the rehabilitation of them. THANK YOU FOR BEING BRAVE 🙏🏼💚 blessings religion should not be painful and hurtful.
Wow!! So brave of you to come on and speak up for all those others still trapped! I can't imagine the pain you went through... I wish all those others will have a chance to heal and taste the real sweetness of Judaism, just like you and escape that place!! May you have a beautiful, happy life and reunite with your family in Isreal bekorov!!!
corrupt officials that aided in their escape should also be held responsible to the tune of 10X the bribes they accepted. only in this manner will these crimes be judiciously corrected.
my heart goes out to all of the victims. ure so amazing for staying strong in ure yiddishkeit despite of what these evil ppl did to u. hashem should bless you with success in everything you do.
I have much empathy for this young man. Thank God he escaped the cult of abuse of children and adults. May he help many others to escape. My prayers and blessings go put to you. 🙏❤
I'm giving him full credit that that he came out with full explanation everything was going on there. It's heartbreaking it's so upsetting that's something like thisomething like this is going on and and we cannot stop it. Something definitely has to be done.
השם ירחם! I can't tolerate this. This is unbelievable. I'm giving full credit for this boy and I wish that he should get his mother and the rest of his family out from there ASAP.
Yoel, you are so brave and I admire your courage and commitment to your family. I will pray for your safety, for your family to be reunited, and for those still left in the cult.
Thank you for being so brave to talk about this so hopefully they can find and put a stop to this cult. I’m happy to know you and yr brother got out and is learning & living life. I hope you find true happiness.
There’s so much new info in this that I, as someone who thought I followed this cults story pretty well, never knew. For example hearing Shlomo helbrans mention another son nosson who left the cult
I was in a pseudo Christian a cult ( the Moonies, unification Church).. I left due to sexism and anti Semitism. Cult religious brainwashing and fear can be paralyzing. I give this young man a LOT of credit for not only leaving but making a life for himself. I hope he can help to get his family out. I am so sorry about his father’s unnecessary death.
This is very sad and happens in all religions. Those in power abuse the weak, usually the children. The young children also look malnourished? This has got to stop, children are not chattel they are not money makers. children are innocent until an adult abuses them and changes them forever. Irreparable damage. Sick.
When he said,my little brother called me dad that put a lump in my throat! Brave young man,I wish him all the best in life.
yes same here! I am crying in my heart.. but crying doesnt help.. I want to help. I am disgusted how they killed his dad
I feel for all those still stuck inside the Lev Tahor. I wish Yoel and Levi a happy and good life!

This is a crazy cult though, Lev T aren’t indicative of Orthodox or Reform Judaism at all, we all know that they are crazy. They were practically banished from Israel and every country they’ve been in!
Lev Tahor in no way represents true Judaism.
He may have wanted to wear it more because of LT not inspite of.
Su
I will never understand why adult people give away to an other human being all their power and freedom. It's a mystery
Saves them the time and trouble of THINKING!
It happens all the time with governments.
US GOVERNMENT DUHHH!
I don't understand how adults can be so willing to blindly trust narcissists enough to sacrifice their own children.
Keep strong. You are amazing that you are still keeping strong although beeing through so much at such a young age.
Totally speechless.
So emotional keep up the great work
It’s always the children that suffer. 😢😢😢
you bet!
Full respect for having the courage to leave hell on earth ! You are a real inspiration and I can only imagine how much Hashem loves you for being so strong !!!
I am heartbroken at the ongoing abuse of these children! And it makes me sick to know those leaders are hiding behind the guise of religion, corrupting any faith for power is disgusting. Thankful to hear this strong young man’s story and hope so much for he and his brother to be happily reunited with the young siblings they were forced to leave behind to escape.
Devastating how far human evilness can go 😢
You are very brave and have been through very terrifying times. Look how bright you are; you speak Hebrew, Yiddish, Spanish and English, most learned by yourself. I pray for those who are still in Lev Tahor and for you, Ha-Shem will look after you and guide you. Maybe this was his mission for you. Try not to lose your faith in Him. You were lied to by the leaders in Lev Tahor but now let Ha-Shem heal your wounds and guide you. He will be with you. You are a Mensch and my Jewish brother. Sei Gesunt!
I grew up in a similar world, I can’t stop crying. I’m so happy you had someone waiting for you with open arms on the outside. I’m so sorry you didn’t know what love was but I hope you receive more of it in your life than you know what to do with
What was the name of it? Did you escape?
Be strong. We all have a responsibility to free the others. Period.
I can’t even imagine people converting to this kind of life 😵😵 I converted to Judaism but not to that kind of life no way ….I believe it is important to share this as much as possible so no one will fall into this anymore ……..
Why did you convert?
@12:50 he says "kol hame'sameach chasan" clearly omitting "kallah". I used to think they're just fanatic to an extreme, but I guess they're not even Jews anymore, that's a new religion entirely.
How sad that he didn't know to say "I love you" to his mother. That's awful.
I recently met one of their members. He was on my flight from Istanbul to London, he denied most of the things happening there. He told me not to believe in the bias against them. I feel sorry for you Mr yoel, God bless you 🙏
If i were in your shoes i wouldve been arrested!! Because i wouldve put my foot in his..... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@yhwhechad it's not the right thing to do. You must face a person knowing that he's got emotions too, no matter his opinions or intentions. I've faced Muslim extremists too. You took to them you only become smarter 😊
Yoel, you are amazing. Hashem should protect you and your loved ones, and may you be one day reunited in safety.
Always know God never lied to you. Humans did. May God heal you. Your love of your brother is beautiful. May God help you to free him of this evil cult.Your strength inspires me.
חילול ה'!!!! I'm watching this and physically feel sickened!!!! Amazing soul Yoel!!!
I appreciate your insights on such a complex life situation.
May your life be wholesome and peaceful young man.
I grew up on a remote Native American reservation in the USA. I have been curious and looking into several different types of cultures in my free time. The Jewish people, in particular, remind me of my culture. Not religion, we had no "religion" in the proper term, but the culture of a close community. It appears that Jews may fight eachother a bit, but all in all the infrastructure of your people to survive, not assimilate and not be absorbed into the world around you is commendable. It reminds me of my people as well.
The ability to call bullshit in your own faith, to defend your people even against the extremists of the faith is commendable. It is honestly rarely seen in most other religions, and in my case...rarely seen in my culture.
I ask for prayers for my people if it does not offend your people. My people are decaying, we will not survive, this I know. It's complicated for us to get justice even if our perpetrators are our fellow tribesmen.
@Maiyn ahh!! Your people are my next knowledge inquiry! 😄 Do you mind if I ask a few questions?
@Maiyn yay! So are the aboriginals only one tribe or more? If so, do they speak a traditional tongue or did colonialism wipe it out? 🤔
Were any of you guys sea people?
I heard that the aboriginals are one of the oldest tribal cultures, is that true still? I know that many undocumented tribes in the Amazon have been seen and have asked for help in some ways. Just curious.
What are your origin stories? And did any of the tribes had "religion" or was it misunderstood by colonialism?
@Maiyn so interesting. Is "stolen generation" the same act of "breed them out"? In America, the Spaniards were far worse about that. Steal women for baby farms. Then after the trail of tears, we were forced to.give up our children at 5 years old for forced boarding schools. That wiped out entire tribes, about 150 tribes died in those schools.
The Dawes Act after that, faced a problem with plains natives. Particularly the Pawnee and Comanche. But more so...they needed men to settle there and map the lands. So an Act was passed that if you are "native", you can buy the land for $5. Which would have been nice, but over 98% of that land was sold under the table with fake paperwork. White and black people that we call "$5 indians". After that we were given free healthcare but our women were forcibly sterilized every single time it could happen. That happened up into the 1980s. It's been a long history BS after the revolution. Over 430 of the 500(ish)treaties were broken. Majority were offenses on "our wombs", meaning they tried to destroy our women. Our women are held in high stature in comparison to the rest of the world at the time. American government knows this, and use it to this day.
@Maiyn oh! Do you guys have totems? Or animal totems?
the jews have achieved their self determination after 2000 years of persecution, hopefully your tribes will also make it through.
Thank you both for speaking on this topic
I couldn't imagine what he has been through in his childhood. Especially when he left his little brother. No kid should experience this!
I have heard a little about this on the news. I’m so glad he and his brother are out and that he shared this. People need to know about abuse. I pray for him to have peace.
If you're praying for someone to die then you are in the wrong place my friend. You don't need God's help to live this small mortal life but you'll need his mercy hereafter.
When I finished watching this video I had tears in my eyes 😥 and tried to imagine how difficult your life was im so sorry hearing that so many kids are going through such a rough time every minute of your life.
and for you Yoely I must tell you you are a hero keep it up and let’s hope to God that it’s should be many more survivors soon!
In every religion there are those POS that make it look bad. All these survivors are amazing. Bless their strong will.
Religion should be outlawed as child abuse
As a Christian, l was completely horrified about the conditions and un-Godly rules of the Lev Tahoe cult, also the child abuse and separation from their mother's! Am proud of you and your brother getting out and discovering God is a loving God. My prayer is all your family and friends get out and find God's love too. This cult needs more truthful exposure and be shut down!! All the best for you and your brother. 🦘😊
And the same goes on in Christendom
This is sick and it’s not religious grounds for them to act like that. They’re literally demons on earth.
Omg you guys, dudes...you guys are amazing. Its seriously bananas growing up in a cult and you guys are amazing for getting out. Big hugs from a cult kid in Canada. 😭💖🙌🌿
What makes you a "cult kid"?
The father raised two brave young men in Yoel and Mendy. I really hope for their mother and young brother to follow them out of the evil cult.
And I pray for them to continue their courageous journey and know they got out from a smaller cult to a bigger and more evil one
I watched him talk about this cult before he did another documentary about it a while back that's so sad I'll keep you in my prayers
Wow so emotional
Someone needs to stop them!!!!
They are in North Macedonia now
Praying for these brave ones who escaped & speak out, and for all those still trapped
“They never told us that they love us” :( My heart breaks. Hashem will take care of them.
So proud of you for coming out so strong 🥺🥺🥺
All cults follow a similar pattern.... no matter what their religious bases are.
Thank the Lord you got out. May all children in Lev Tahor be saved
Everyone needs to see this!
Here because of the news, 160 children were rescued today from the Lev Tahor compound in Guatemala.
May God bless and protect the man that's doing an interview he is a great man
Today the Guatemalan government has freed those children. I hope you can help with the rehabilitation of them. THANK YOU FOR BEING BRAVE 🙏🏼💚 blessings religion should not be painful and hurtful.
All the kids look malnourished, at the first glance. How can anyone go in and just by that not immediately know something is wrong?
So glad you guys were able to escape, I pray for all the children who suffered at the hands of those demons
Wow!! So brave of you to come on and speak up for all those others still trapped! I can't imagine the pain you went through... I wish all those others will have a chance to heal and taste the real sweetness of Judaism, just like you and escape that place!! May you have a beautiful, happy life and reunite with your family in Isreal bekorov!!!
Yup, and thank God that most orthodox jews are not so totally insane!
So proud of you and your brother. May Hashem bless you many many times over.
Please save these people...they are being tortured and abused .
איזה עינויים עוברים שם???
מה זה שם מה הסיפור שלהם
@@גרשיקלצקין I dont speak hebrew
@@גרשיקלצקין inquire.. its physical emotional and psychological
corrupt officials that aided in their escape should also be held responsible to the tune of 10X the bribes they accepted. only in this manner will these crimes be judiciously corrected.
The word Chasidic means kindness something that is devoid in Lev Tahor.
This is not Judaism. So messed up.
@@lilafeldman8630 absolutely 100% correct my friend.
We need to pray for all those children to be freed from such monsters
UNBELIEVABLE Why is the USA-CANADA government not shutting down this place
Unfortunately they fled Canada right before the government was closing in on them.
How disgusting. Thanks for taking the time to expose these animals.
What a strong personality this young man has … after all this trauma.
You are a very inspirational person. I'm so glad you are free.
my heart goes out to all of the victims. ure so amazing for staying strong in ure yiddishkeit despite of what these evil ppl did to u. hashem should bless you with success in everything you do.
I have much empathy for this young man. Thank God he escaped the cult of abuse of children and adults. May he help many others to escape. My prayers and blessings go put to you. 🙏❤
Thank you for being so brave and a warrior and a soldier of truth
I am so sorry for all of the trauma you experienced but glad you followed your instinct. Shalom.
Hashem loves him. God Bless.
"They never told us that they love us." Such heartbreaking words...
I am so glad you and your brother got out!
GREAT CONTENT 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 THANKS FOR THIS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm giving him full credit that that he came out with full explanation everything was going on there. It's heartbreaking it's so upsetting that's something like thisomething like this is going on and and we cannot stop it. Something definitely has to be done.
U did the right thing. God uses ppl like u with the courage, wisdom & strength 2 make changes & most importantly value TRUTH above all else.
השם ירחם!
I can't tolerate this. This is unbelievable. I'm giving full credit for this boy and I wish that he should get his mother and the rest of his family out from there ASAP.
Bless you Yoel Levy. You are so brave and so young. Best wishes for the future.
Yoel, you are so brave and I admire your courage and commitment to your family. I will pray for your safety, for your family to be reunited, and for those still left in the cult.
Thank you for being so brave to talk about this so hopefully they can find and put a stop to this cult. I’m happy to know you and yr brother got out and is learning & living life. I hope you find true happiness.
not to just this cult all cults
@@Hjdgkhddfvyes thank you
There’s so much new info in this that I, as someone who thought I followed this cults story pretty well, never knew. For example hearing Shlomo helbrans mention another son nosson who left the cult
There are definitely many layers and details that constantly emerge... But the one thing that's simple is we need to rescue these kids
Amazing story, glad you’re safe and happy.
I was in a pseudo Christian a cult ( the Moonies, unification Church).. I left due to sexism and anti Semitism. Cult religious brainwashing and fear can be paralyzing. I give this young man a LOT of credit for not only leaving but making a life for himself. I hope he can help to get his family out. I am so sorry about his father’s unnecessary death.
Did they tell you about Sabatean Frankists? Or what kind of things?
Incredible story. God bless you. 🙏
Evil does not come from God but from the people themselves
I will pray for their deliverance 🙏 no one deserves to live like that!!!
So sad😭😢
I will pray that these precious people will escape or be rescued.
פַּלְגֵי מַיִם תֵּרַד עֵינִי עַל שֶׁבֶר בַּת עַמִּי.
אשריכם אחים הקדושים!
This is very sad and happens in all religions. Those in power abuse the weak, usually the children. The young children also look malnourished? This has got to stop, children are not chattel they are not money makers. children are innocent until an adult abuses them and changes them forever. Irreparable damage. Sick.
