I GREW UP IN THE EXTREMIST JEWISH CULT OF LEV TAHOR - THE STORY OF MENDY LEVY
Mendy said the group, which was founded by Shlomo Helbrans in the 1980s, was about 'total control.'
'You can't do anything without permission. And if they ask you do something, you have to do it,' he recalled to Insider.
'They don't want people to see the outside world. No one is able to go anywhere without the leader's permission.'
Mendy recalled a time when a woman, who was allergic to sesame seeds, was told she had to eat them after to prove 'her faith' to the rabbi.
'Two hours later, she died,' he said. 'As she was suffering from the allergic reaction, they didn't let her call an ambulance. They don't allow doctors in Lev Tahor without the rabbi's permission. They told us to trust the rabbi.'
Something similar happened to his father - who developed an infection in 2016 and needed to go to the hospital.
'The rabbi said no,' Mendy explained. 'My father wasn't eating. He wasn't walking. He got sicker and sicker over a week and a half. And that's how it ended. He died on October 25, 2016.'
During his days at Lev Tahor, Mendy said he woke up at 5:30 in the morning every day. After attending shul (synagogue), all the boys were forced to go into a freezing cold river that was filled with snakes for a ritual called mikvah.
After that, it was back to shul for morning prayer, also called Shacharis - which would last three hours. Then, they were required to listen to the rabbi's speech, which sometimes lasted six or seven hours.
The rest of the day was spent either in shul or in class. But school was different than you'd expect - there was no science, English or math class. Mendy explained that Shlomo had written all of his own books, and that he wanted everyone to know them by heart, so the kids were required to spend all of their free time studying them - and nothing else.
'We didn't even know what the word "science" meant. We didn't speak a word of English. No reading,' he said.
'If you write "ABC" in Lev Tahor, you get a punishment. We don't know what Trump is. We don't know what Biden is. I barely knew what the Holocaust was at the time. No iPhone, no computers, nothing like that unless you were one of the leaders.'
When it came to eating, Mendy said he was forced to skip meals all the time. He also recalled being 'physically and mentally abused.'
He said, 'There's the hitting, the beating up. If someone says a lie - even a small child - they would take hot pepper, the powder, and make them swallow it. After getting hit or beaten, you had to kiss the hand of whoever just hit you and thank him...'

REVELATION 3:9
I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
