The Story of the Shuvu Banim Community
A film that traces one of the big question marks that arises from the activities of the Shuvu Banim community. In one of the fascinating and controversial communities that grew up in Jerusalem under the leadership of Rabbi Eliezer Berland hides a heavy cloud. Eliezer Berland, the leader of the Shuvu Banim community that broke into the public consciousness following his conviction for sexual offenses, operated modesty guards for years, whose men were arrested after being suspected of burning bus stops, beating unmarried couples walking around public parks and hitting Arab homes in the Old City. Did the modesty guards go further? Is there a connection between the modesty guards and the case of Nissim Sheetrit, an ultra-Orthodox boy who is still considered missing, and in the case of the late Avi Edri who was a yeshiva principal in Jerusalem and whose body was found lying in a forest in the Jerusalem mountains after being severely abused?
