Erez Arjuna Carmel, a 60-year-old spiritual teacher from Pardes Hanna-Karkur, was found dead yesterday (Friday) near the Mei Kedem site in Alona Park.

According to the suspicion, Carmel put an end to his life, this due to an investigation that was about to be published in the near future by the media body "Politically Calls", in which he was accused of sexually assaulting dozens of women over the years.

Carmel posted a Facebook post about a day before ending his life: "This significant period, the transition from old to new reality, makes us open new eyes and a new vision in our personal space. When I look back on my past behavior, I am shocked by the size of the pain that drove me crazy. And the experience of loneliness that made me seek attention and love outside. Then also hurt others, be insensitive and self-centered. And run blindly and sometimes in a dumbfound of senses without love. There are situations that torment me to this day. The new energy today is healing and inclusion, forgiveness and self-forgiveness and collective ".

E., one of the women who claims to have been harmed by Carmel, wrote a post on Facebook following his actions and suicide.

"Writing in pain. A man of light, love, and serial rapist left us today," she wrote.

"A man who was raped and sexually assaulted, me and dozens if not hundreds of women in the last decades. Women who came to him for treatment, because of the light and love he radiated, women who trusted him and abandoned their trust in his hands. Women whose trust collapsed, parts of their souls lost there ... famous".

A. added that "many, very many people knew about his deeds, including spiritual teachers, leaders of various ranks, and chose to remain silent and chose to cooperate with him in business, and invite him to teach and work with them, thus training his name and deeds, in the name of light and love. I and dozens and if not hundreds of other women. "

The "Political Calling" media body

said: "In recent months, we have been working in a political reading system on a wide-ranging investigation aimed at exposing the depth of Erez Arjona Carmel, an energetic-spiritual guide, in dozens of women over the years. The purpose of the investigation was to expose Carmel's actions. , And on the other hand to expose the mechanisms that enabled his abusive conduct to continue to exist in spaces of ‘healing’, over decades.

"Political Calls" is the only feminist media body in Israel, and therefore our way of working is derived from our feminist views. More, to turn to take care of himself, and take responsibility for the many injuries of the past. Unfortunately, last night we were informed of Carmel's death. A death that leaves his actions hanging in the air, without taking real responsibility - and in real prevention of his victims to get a proper closure. "Understand what the needs and desires of the victims of and the work on the investigation are and therefore, its publication is delayed. At this difficult time we stand by the victims, hoping that they will achieve the healing they deserve and regret for the whole family and community of Arjuna the difficult situation."
