Several leaders of the Lev Tahor Cult have just been taken into police custody, YWN has learned exclusively.

They were apprehended in Mexico, in a joint operation between Interpol and the FBI. Police raided two out of three Lev Tahor owned properties in the country in the middle of the night.

The five people in custody are:

• Nachman Helbrans
• Meyer Rosner
• Chaim Yankel Rosner
• Uriel Goldman
• Arye Malka

Additionally, there are a few families of Guatemalans that became Geirim through Lev Tahor but eventually left the cult after learning first hand how horrific the lifestyle was. 

These families remained Frum Yidden and are living in Guatemala City. When police made the arrests in Mexico, a young child from one of these families was found to be in the Lev Tahor “safe house” in Mexico. This child has now been reunited with his mother in Guatemala.

The five suspects are in custody and in the process of being brought to the United States.

Charges may include: Kidnapping, sexual abuse, running a cult, extortion, intimidation, child abuse and many other charges.

  Yitzchok "the Clown Frankfurter of Ami Magazine met with the Late Helbrans and assured his readership that it was not a cult, 

In 2014 YWN ran an article titled “Cults and the War of the Jewish Magazines” in response to Mishpacha and Ami magazines running articles on Lev Tahor. Mishpacha Magzaine had run a fifteen page “expose” on the group, essentially describing Lev Tahor as a cult that has some serious issues involving medicating children, and behaviors that resemble child abuse. 

Ami Magazine claimed the exact opposite – and ran the following sentence below their headline 
“The unjust persecution of a group of pious Jews, and the unsettling silence of the Jewish community.”
