Busted! Fleeing Hasidic Rabbi Nabbed In Amsterdam After Almost 2-Year Chase
After hopping from country to country, seeking refuge from Israeli law in places like Morocco, Zimbabwe and South Africa, Breslov Rabbi Eliezer Berland was finally arrested early today in Amsterdam’s international airport.

Busted! Fleeing Hasidic Rabbi Nabbed In Amsterdam After Almost 2-Year Chase

He ran for almost two years but in the end he could hide from the law no longer.
Breslov Shuvu Banim hasidic leader Rabbi Eliezer Berland has finally been arrested.
After hopping from country to country, seeking refuge from law in places like Morocco, Zimbabwe and South Africa, Berland was arrested early today in Amsterdam’s international airport, Arutz Sheva reported.
The now 77-year-old Berland allegedly sexually abused several of his female followers, at least one of whom was a minor at the time of the alleged abuse. He fled Israel almost two years ago after learning police were about to detain him.
Berland went first to places like the US, Italy and Switzerland but then moved on to more exotic locations without extradition treaties with Israel.
An international arrest warrant for Berland was reportedly issued earlier this summer.
Police in South Africa tried to arrest Berland at least twice in the past few weeks, but his followers managed to hide Berland at last minute and told Israeli reporters just days ago that they were planning on smuggling Berland to Rabbi Nachman of Breslov’s grave in Uman, Ukraine for Rosh Hashana, which takes place later this month.
Even on the run from law, Berland was surrounded by dozens and even hundreds of loyal disciples – many of whom are ex-cons from Israel.
A true chossid of Nachman of Breslov. They both had the same morals, same behaviors, and same level of education.

Noach, Ben golden and all of the autistic children who are giving these messages are part of some kind of autistic center ran by followers of Rumpler. Rumpler is the rabbi behind the burka women cult. And he has strong ties to Helbrans of the Lev Tahor cult. There are some people who are followers of both. And these two leaders have the greatest of respect for each other. The messages when they are received it is with the assistance of the helpers who have a way of communicating with the autistic children by means of a computer and the helpers have some part in the content of the message. The clearest messages are when Ben Golden is with a certain lady helper. Assuming the messages are all true (through they are controlled to some extent) the recipients might be making a slight misunderstanding. For although the messages are prophecies against the corrupt world with a huge emphasis on the corrupt rabbis which is a true idea rooted in the zohar like the rumpelstiltskins love quoting. Nevertheless who is to say rumpler and helbrans are not included among these corrupt rabbis. And maybe the autistic children in their tirade against these evil rabbis who God will destroy are desperately trying to articulate the sexual abuse they suffer from rumpler and his helper followers.

The Tomer Devorah blog is not the work of somebody with deep emotional problems. It's the work of a four funnelled, ocean going, copper bottomed, moon howling lunatic. A complete utter batshit mentalist.

You can run, but you can't hide. Now the case can finally be tried in a Court of Law.

Amsterdam ? where does berland get the money to travel , lodging , food and transportation for him and his flock ?
how can he afford living for two years
without working ? even savings won't do it
unless he managed to shnorr for millions . and how he knows which countries to go to .
how many girls did he have sex with in
zimbabwe and south Africa , i'm wondering . for him , it's paradise .
even better than Israel .
now, i'm wondering . is Holland gonna extradite him to Israel ? if Holland does not have extradition laws with Israel , what's gonna happen to him ? getting away with rape and continue to live free and glorius .
Holland is well know for free prostitution . heaven on earth for the rascal . he keeps being luckier and luckier . he might win the lottery and afford prostitutes .
