Berland's right hand in recording: "Find out all the kisses, adoration and jorah here"

Nathan Benson, the right-hand man of Rabbi Eliezer Berland, leader of the Shuva Boys community, who is suspected of threatening offenses, harassment, fraudulently accepting under aggravating circumstances, forgery and money laundering, provides for the first time a glimpse of what is happening inside his spiritual leader's home. In an exclusive recording that came to Walla! NEWS, he denies an offer by another associate to Berland to allow a journalist to enter the house, saying, "Suddenly, he'll find out all the kisses, reveal all the fanbase and all the gurus here in this place."

Bazenson's remarks were recorded last summer, long after Breland was released from a lengthy prison sentence after admitting sex offenses to his community wives. They are being released for the first time today (Wednesday), while Berland and some of his associates, including Benson himself, are in custody following suspicion of charging money from patients in exchange for their rabbi's false promises. Bezenson said this after another associate of Rabbi Berland offered to invite a reporter to his house to record the scene for a period of time, and publish a positive article about him.

Benson, who was considered the closest man to Berland and even accompanied him on his flight abroad, declined the offer on the same occasion, explaining that "I don't think so, we might eat it again as (with) Amnon Levy." He meant Levi's interview in the past , Which managed to excite his followers' anger. Benson added: "There are too many holes in the ship here. Suddenly he would discover the kisses, discover all the fans and all the joras that are here in this place. You open a Pandora that you don't really know where you're going to get from. "

Benson argued in that conversation that Berland's followers "because (they) love the rabbi, looking at the good and not looking at the evil, but an objective person, in particular, that a good day (good day Cheshin, one of the leaders of the fight against Berland) can inform him well, will catch you Camera and take footage you really don't want. "

Berland's right-hand man made it clear in the internal conversation that "advertising" could be paid, as he put it, but insisted not to bring a journalist into the rabbi's house: "I'm against it personally. Knowing here and there? Whoever is willing to receive the news and publish, why not pay money on Advertising? Why not? Getting into the house, it's very dangerous - I really oppose it. "

"When looking for tyranny, find"

In response, associates told Berland: "When looking for kisses, find kisses. When searching for tyranny, find tyranny, when searching for tens of millions, find tens of millions. If a journalist decides that because of the rabbi's opening of the Second World War, he will find it in the rabbi. The arrow then find the target. "

They added that "Rabbi Dayan Benson, Rabbi Berland's personal back, expresses in his conversation the pain and mistrust of his community of boys returning to the media and the police so that when the police or the media want to find Jura and millions, even if they were, they will find one purpose here , To criminalize and hurt the rabbi, no matter what was and what will be. "

Last Thursday, the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court extended Barland's arrest by eight days, and this week also extended the detention of some of his suspected associates. Berland is suspected of threats, harassment, fraudulent acceptance of aggravated circumstances, forgery and money laundering. Judge Sharon Larry-Babley explained the decision both in the rabbi's danger and "in fear that he would escape the terror of the law."
