According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the country's press has dubbed Lev Tahor the "Jewish Taliban." Last week, a fifth member of Lev Tahor, Matityau Moshe Malka, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to kidnap. In November 2013, a Canadian judge ordered that 14 Lev Tahor minors were to be taken into foster care. In April 2017, the Israeli attorney general and family members of Lev Tahor members petitioned an Israeli court to investigate the group. According to the complaint, the leader was insistent that Lev Tahor would not stop until her children were back with the sect.
