Leading rabbi of Hasidic movement to be arrested upon entry into Israel

Rabbi Eliezer Berland, one of the leaders of the Breslov Hasidic movement, will be arrested upon his return to Israel from South Africa on Tuesday amid suspicions of sexual offences against women who sought his advice, among them a young girl.

 

His defense attorney said that Berland’s exit from Israel was unrelated to the investigation and without knowledge of its existence. She added that he intends to cooperate with the authorities and hopes that it will be brought to a swift conclusion.
