Rabbi Papo on Lev Tahor: Harmless to the environment, everything they do, they do to themselves


For days, a group of Jews, who are assumed to be members of the Orthodox Lev Tahor, who arrived in BiH last December and have been staying in a couple of residential buildings in East Sarajevo, have been attracting a lot of public attention for days. The non-resident rabbi of the Jewish community in Sarajevo, Eliezer Papo, spoke for N1 about the cultural specificities of this group.


"It is a small, completely irrelevant minor group. About 40 to 50 families, a total of up to 1,000 members worldwide. There is no reason to worry. These people are simply looking for a place where no one will interfere in their internal affairs, and they probably got the impression that BiH is a bit of a dead country," said Eliezer Papo for N1.



A group of citizens moved to Kula near Sarajevo, authorities claim they practice religion in extreme


In the settlement of Kula near Sarajevo (Eastern Ilidža), a group specific in terms of lifestyle and clothing moved in, whose arrival disturbed the residents of this place, considering that, as they claim, it is a sect.


The portal Klix.ba is aware that at the end of December, a larger group of citizens with many children moved to the Kula settlement, who are specific for their almost identical clothing. Over time, they became more and more suspicious to the neighborhood, and many of them state that they hear them performing rituals all night long, that is, they hear children's voices and songs from the house where they live.


What was also strange to the locals was that none of them do anything, nor communicate with anyone in the area, but spend the whole day in prayer. Due to such a situation, they took on the "investigation" themselves to find out more information about the new neighbors.

What was also unusual for the surrounding tenants was that none of them, it seems, do anything, nor do they communicate with anyone in the area, but spend the whole day in prayer.
