10 Lev Tahor Families Desecrated Yom Tov And Fled To Honduras At Jailed Leader’s Behest
Published By admin
NEW YORK (VINnews) — After the Lev Tahor cult was dismantled last month in Guatemala and the families were dispersed to the United States, Canada, Israel, and other countries, around ten families of former cult members who had recently relocated to New York secretly regrouped.
The families had regained custody of their children from Guatemalan child welfare authorities on the condition that they leave the cult. However, they have now fled once again, apparently in an attempt to maintain the cult’s customs in a foreign country.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the escape took place during the Jewish holidays of Simchat Torah and Shemini Atzeret. The families boarded a flight to a new destination,Honduras, a country where children’s rights are not a top priority.
The order to escape specifically during the holiday, thereby violating religious laws, came from the cult leaders who are currently serving long prison sentences in Brooklyn for serious crimes they committed against children and other members of the cult.
The reason for the timing, it is claimed, was to avoid detection that might thwart the escape.
Another source said:
“Honduras is a corrupt country, very similar to Guatemala. This was all orchestrated through manipulations by the imprisoned leaders, who convinced the families that it’s better to live in a country with no Jewish presence than to stay in America.”
This is not the first time Lev Tahor leaders have violated the Sabbath and instructed cult members to do so.
In October 2021, dozens of Lev Tahor members landed in Moldova on the Sabbath, were denied entry, and deported back to Turkey immediately after the Sabbath ended. Cult members have been expelled from every location they tried to settle in, after authorities were informed they posed a danger.
