In the 1980's a wave of allegations of child sex abuse swept across the United States. Although the idyllic picture of American life had been shattered earlier in the decade following the highly publicized kidnappings of Adam Walsh and Johnny Gosch, the trajectory of the nation discourse over child abuse would somehow take an even more disturbing turn. Subsequent high profile child abuse allegations took on a sɛҳuąƖ undertone that was absent in the cases of Walsh and Gosch. As if that added element was not horrific enough, accusations emerged that the child sex abuse was done as part of Satanic rituals. The controversy over allegations of Satanic ritual child sex abuse emerged shortly after Gosch's 1982 kidnapping when family members who operated the eponymous McMartin Preschool were charged with hundreds of acts of child sex abuse by California prosecutors from 1984 to 1987. The investigation and subsequent trial into the allegations of Satanic rituals being central to the child sex abuse at the McMartin Preschool ushered in an era dubbed "The Satanic Panic" which lasted from the mid to late 1980's. By 1990, the Satanic Panic reached its apotheosis, ending anti-climatically following charges against members of the McMartin family being dropped in 1990.

Moloch is regarded as a Canaanite deity children were sacrificed to.
Despite those charges being dropped, questions still linger about the scope of the ritualistic abuse alleged throughout the era. The hysteria driven by fears over Satanism being the driving force behind the increase in allegations of child sex abuse ultimately created a simulacra surrounding accusations made during the era, leading to a blurring between fact and fiction that makes discerning the truth broach upon impossible. Though most accusations in the era have since been dismissed as nothing more than akin to those made as part of a witch hunt, questions still linger over the extent of the truth about the claims and how the distortion of events that followed them was used to cover up actual instances of ritualistic abuse.
Doubt over the total dismissal of the validity of those claims re-emerges periodically as a companion to the revelation of confirmed cases of child sex abuse that are at a large enough scale to attract national or even global attention. The latest episode rekindling these kinds of allegations has emerged from Israel, where several survivors testified to the Knesset about sex abuse took place as part of religious rituals when they were minors. They allege that the Satanic ritualistic child sex abuse they suffered as minors was perpetrated by high profile members of Israeli society; including doctors, teachers, police offers, and current members of the Knesset itself. The gravity of those accusations not only causes upheaval throughout the political and cultural landscape of Israel but adds to the credence of previous accusations of ritualistic child sex abuse that have been dismissed as nothing more than a fever dream or conspiracy theory.

Evidence of this network of abuse operating throughout Israel was first brought to light in an explosive investigative report by authored by journalist Noam Barkan titled Bottom of Darkness which was published by the website Israel Hayom on April 23rd, 2025. Barkan's piece puts forward the harrowing testimony of several victims of ritualistic abuse that illustrates a modus operandi consistent throughout their separate accounts. The horrific details of their abuse are replete with references to Satanic symbolism including pentagrams central to the areas the victims were bound upon where they suffered at the hands of their abusers. The allegations of abuse made by the victims implicated religious and community leaders such as Rabbis, doctors, and school teachers as well as parents and even other children who are part of the Jєωιѕн communities the rituals took place within.
Victims made their testimony before a joint meeting of the Knesset’s Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality and the Special Committee on Young Israelis. Their testimony shined light not only on the sadistic ritual practices behind the abuse, but a network that perpetrated it across Israel. According to abuse survivor Yaarl Shitrit, “Their trafficking of me happened all over the country. They moved me from ceremony to ceremony. Naked men stood in a circle. My therapist, her husband, and her son harmed me, and there were dozens of other girls and boys who harmed me." The victim testimony about the abusers operating a human trafficking network highlighted the adjacent criminal enterprise its perpetrators operated. In addition to human trafficking, the network's leaders also gained substantial profits from child pornography and using the participation in the rituals as the basis for blackmail.
Throughout multiple victims' accounts, the ceremonies they were subjected to were each done under the leadership of a rabbi. According to dozens of pieces of victim testimony, as many as 9 men would participate in the ritualistic abuse. The men would we clad in black robes, with the long exception being the Rabbi leading the ritual who was adorned in white. The religious undertones of the ceremonies were overt, with Rabbis reading from the Torah. One abuse survivor recounted "I remember a pentagram on the floor, usually in red. When the ceremony was in the forest, the pentagram was marked with a hoe and surrounded by lit candles in a circle. The rabbi would bless, 'Blessed who releases the bound,' men around prayed with prayer shawls, sometimes dressed in black, while the rabbi wore a white robe."

Stories from the Jєωιѕн Bible were re-enacted during the abuse. One such story — The Binding Of Isaac, where Yahweh commands the biblical patriarch Abraham to sacrifice his son — was staged by the abusers. Of all the rituals, The Binding Of Isaac being staged was the most common biblical re-enactment recounted by victims with 5 separate instances of it being found across their respective testimonies. Mock child marriages and burials were also part of the sadistic abuse. Children subjected to these rituals were also forced to eat feces, sodomized with Jєωιѕн religious items including Shofars, and subjected to genital mutilation.
One victims who testified that she was abused as part of a ritual re-enacting The Binding of Isaac recollected the ceremony in graphic detail. "I was very young. In the images, people and verses appeared....I have scars on my genitals. They injured and damaged them. It involved tremendous cruelty, abuse, humiliation, control, and ownership, all disguised as religion and elevated spiritual work. It's appropriating God to serve urges."
The phantasmagoria painted by the picture of the sadistic abuse itself served to protect the perpetrators as the stories seemed too nightmarish to believe, leading to reports made by victims being disregarded by social service agencies just as they had been by police. Dr. Naama Goldberg, head of an NGO called Lo Omdot MeNegged (Not Standing Idly By) recounted her own disbelief after reports detailing the ritualistic abuse were made with her office. “Several years ago, I received descriptions of sadistic abuse of children,” she said. “The accounts sounded absurd. [But] the testimonies kept coming and would not let up. They described gang rape by men, and sometimes by women. The abuse was filmed, and drugs were used. There were ritual practices and symbolism." When Goldberg was finally unable to ignore the validity of the victims allegations, she brought their reports to Israeli police but she, like so many victims, was ignored as well. “I presented the police with written testimonies from 5 women. To this day, no one has contacted me." Goldberg said.
The reports submitted by Dr. Goldberg were far from the only instances of Israeli police being informed about the abuse networks connected to the testimony brought before the Knesset. Multiple complaints were filed with police departments across Israel over the course of several years. They would prove to be to no avail as each was closely quickly by Israeli police. Police responding to a report filed about a network operating out of Jerusalem determined that they lacked the sufficient evidence needed to perform a comprehensive investigation into the accusations.

Despite police ignoring reports of child sex abuse being routine across Israel for decades, that corruption was unable to cover up widespread abuse with the Haredi Orthodox community in the Nahlaot neighborhood of central Jerusalem that came to light in 2012 as another high profile instance of child sex abuse networks operating within the country. Although authorities dismissed claims surrounding this child abuse network, the depths of its depravity was impossible to deny within the community. One mother detailed that at least 6 families left the neighborhood to protect their children. Those perpetrating the abuse were well-known among the community, as were their malevolent tactics. “They would recruit and threaten babysitters, ones who had been molested for years,” explained another mother within the community. "They would tell them ‘if you don’t bring the toddlers that you’re babysitting for, we know where your bedroom is and we know where your parents are and we’ll come and kill you."
Ultimately, the prolonged abuse that police dismissed reports of proved to be too much to ignore. Despite investigators disregarding the accusations made by victims, a pedophile network was exposed. An investigation into the child sex abuse ultimately uncovered a network of at least 10 pedophiles who molested more than 100 children in the neighborhood's Haredi community. The abuse took place within the Orthodox Jєωιѕн community over the course of 6 years, enabled by authorities dismissing reports of its crimes as the invention of victims and panicked response of parents and healthcare workers who had alerted police.
Although police were able to apprehend 6 of the men they identified as part of the abuse network, only 3 were indicted. Of those 3, only a man named Benjamin Satz would be convicted on charges of committing indecent acts and sodomy against girls and boys aged 5 to 8. Members of the Orthodox community attested that the mastermind of the pedophile ring was one of the arrested suspects to be released due to what police determined was a lack of evidence.
Rabbi Dr. Udi Furman, who analyzed the testimony of 165 adults who alleged to be victims of ritualistic sex abuse as well as another 174 professionals across healthcare, law enforcement, and social service sectors who aided the victims wrote about the pedophile network operating out of Nahlaot in an article titled Ritual Abuse in Israel. Furman wrote how the Nahlaot case was "one of many similar cases, most occurring in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods." His article would elucidate how well known the abuse was among high ranking members of Orthodox communities, stating "For instance, a private ultra-Orthodox court writes that ritual sɛҳuąƖ abuse is cruel and frequent, accompanied by traumatic, accusatory, and confusing ceremonies. The abuse is carried out by large criminal organizations and/or cults and/or secret organizations, with financial investment and recruitment of assisting personnel. The abuse carries for its perpetrators substantial profits such as satisfaction of deviant urges, commerce and pornography, threats and extortion, and more."
Furman's examination of court's findings in the Nahlaot case also brought the practices held during the ritual to light. His analysis revealed that ceremonies took place as frequently as biweekly, subjected victims to constant and prolonged abuse. Parents, educators, and religious officials were recruited to take part in the abuse. After the Rabbi leading the abuse rituals would conclude a Torah lesson, he would lead a ceremony referred to as a "soul correction" in which participants would stand together naked in a circle in surrounding children stripped of their clothes who they would recite psalms to.
The lurid details recounted by Rabbi Furman in his examination of the Nahlaot abuse case leaves little doubt about the motives behind why police did not act on reports made by victims. The police response to the pedophile network operating out of Jerusalem is a microcosm of the power dynamic driving the child abuse network perpetrating these crimes across Israel detailed in the testimony of its survivors brought before the Knesset.
Abuse survivor Tameno-Shete alluded to police being complicit in covering up the abuse, stating “Reality shows us that the police are not strong in handling sɛҳuąƖ offenses. No one wants to talk about brutal rape and children being raped. There are unimaginable cases of monstrosity here.” Another survivor speaking under anonymity who filed a police report about the abuse she suffered 5 years ago testified that “The prosecution closed the case due to lack of evidence, so I appealed, and it was accepted. I came to testify while on pregnancy bed rest, but the case was closed again due to lack of evidence."
Yet another abuse survivor named Yael Ariel removed any doubt about the heights that the abuse networks reached, stating that she received testimonies from other victims who claimed that past and present members of Knesset were involved in the rituals. I can give names, from the past and the present," she testified. Her complaints were disregarded by Israeli police as well. “I filed a complaint with the police that was closed after a few months, and I know of other cases that were closed.” she said before the Knesset.

While the prevalence of this kind of ritualistic abuse is pronounced among the Orthodox Jєωιѕн community, the initial report written by investigative journalist Noam Barkan conveys that it is not limited to that religious sect alone. While the author notes that most of the women he interviewed came from a religious Zionist or ultra-Orthodox background, he also received testimony about similar abuse within secular Israeli society. Thus, he suggests that a deeper cultural element is driving this kind of ritualistic abuse in Israel.
A senior clinical psychologist cited in Barkan's report attributes the ritualistic abuse to an esoteric dimension of Judaism: Kabbalah. According to the psychologist, the Rabbis leading these abuse rituals draw upon the study of Jєωιѕн mysticism as a means of furthering their spiritual transcendence. "These individuals distort Kabbalistic sources through misinterpretation. I believe they're psychopaths using Kabbalah to objectify and exploit victims. When 'Kabbalistic' forces combine with sɛҳuąƖ exploitation desires, that creates an explosive situation. Anyone truly God-fearing should carefully avoid this movement," he stated.
Kabbalah itself originated as a study of Jєωιѕн esotericism in the 12th-13th century following the publication of its foundational doctrine, the Sefer Zohar, attributed to the author Moses de Leon. The publication of the Zohar occured during and era and within a region where the iconoclastic Jєωιѕн thought put forward by a group known as the Tosafot would challenge the existing Jєωιѕн law, Halakha, through their own commentary on the тαℓмυd. The тαℓмυd itself serves as the basis of Rabbinical literature and foundation of Halakha. Centuries after the Zohar was written, Rabbi Issac Luria emerged as the authority on Kabbalah, so much so that he was exalted to the title "Elohi," literally meaning "the Godly one." Luria's school of Kabbalah would become the standard of the study of Jєωιѕн mysticism based around the city of Safet, which is one of the 4 holy cities of Israel, the others being Tiberias, Hebron, and of course Jerusalem.
Based on Luria's teachings, only single men over the age of 40 years old who demonstrated a mastery of тαℓмυdic exegesis could study Kabbalah. However, in the years that followed his death in 1572, the rules he put forward became increasingly disregarded. By the 17th century, not one 100 years after Luria's death, students as young at teenagers were studying Kabbalah. One such example if Nathan of Gaza, a 19-year old described to possess sage wisdom who began studying Kabbalah under the Rabbi Josef Hagiz. Nathan of Gaza would go on to inspire a Messianic Kabbalistic movement which demonstrates the aforementioned distortion of Kabbalistic teaching for the sake of personal gain. A template which would be followed by the serial pedophiles engaging in the ritualistic child sex abuse that still exists across Israel to this day.
Nathan of Gaza would be introduced to a Messianic claimant named Sabbatai Zevi by his colleague Abraham Yachini. While historical sources offer different accounts of their introduction, the common ground they have is that Yachini met the proselytizing Zevi following his excommunication from Thessaloniki, the Greek city which stood as the epicenter of Kabbalistic study in the Ottoman Empire. Following his exile, Zevi was downtrodden and sought the council of Nathan of Gaza through Yachini. The encounter imbued Yechini with a sense of divine intervention as he viewed Zevi as the materialization of a Messianic prophecy that Nathan of Gaza had which served as the impetus for his inspiration to lead a religious movement to summon the Mashiach to advance Jєωιѕн eschatology by ushering in the Messianic Age.

The hindsight of history portrays Nathan of Gaza as exploiting the delusions of a likely mentally ill Zevi by affirming his beliefs that he himself was the Messiah. With that encouragement, Zevi was resuscitated from the throes of despair Yachini found him in. Reinvigorated, Zevi would lead a Kabbalistic Messianic movement that he was the namesake for: Sabbateanism.
Sabbateanism emerged in the mid-17th century in the Ottoman Empire as Zevi was able to galvanize thousands of followers. They followed Zevi's iconoclastic brand of Kabbalah until the Messianic claimant was eventually apprehended by Ottoman authorities. He was then faced with an ultimatum: renounce his Messianic claim and convert to Islam or be put to death. Zevi, effectively disproving his Messianic claim by demonstrating the absence of the same spiritual conviction of the martyred Jesus Christ, chose the former of the 2 options and converted to Islam.
Following his conversion, Zevi served in the court of Sultan Mehmed IV. However, despite his ostensible conversion to Islam, Zevi continued to preach his antinomian Kabbalistic doctrine. Zevi would instruct his followers to weaponize the practice of conversion themselves, leading to the formation of a group of crypto-Jews known as the Donmeh. In the years that followed, Zevi was ultimately unable to conceal his duplicity. Following the discovery by Ottoman authorities of his continued practice of Judaism, Zevi was exiled from Constantinople by Sultan Mehmed IV to what is now the town of Ulcinj, Montenegro, where he died in isolation in 1676.
Yet, the end of Sabbatai Zevi was not the end of Sabbateanism. It would continue to be practiced in secret by the Donmeh crypto-Jews until a new figure would emerge in the 18th century who would reawaken it from its dormancy. Jacob Frank, a Polish Jew, would claim to be the reincarnation of Zevi born 50 years following his death in Montenegro. Frank, like Zevi, would weaponize the conversion of his followers but this time as a means of infiltrating Christian society. Under Frank's leadership, the practices of Sabbateanism once shrouded in secrecy would slowly reveal themselves.

Frank instructed his followers to participate in ritualized orgies and incest between fathers and daughters in the manner of deliberate violation of Halakha taught by Sabbatai Zevi. These practices were meant to achieve "salvation through sin" by bringing victims and perpetrators through the abyss of sin on a path Frank believed would lead to spiritual redemption.

This central practice of Frankism shares obvious parallels with the Lurianic Kabbalistic principle of Shevirat ha-Kelim or the "shattering of the vessels." In Kabbalistic thought, the holiness of the Ein Sof, the ultimate form of God, filled 10 vessels with primordial light. However, those vessels were unable to contain the divine power of the light and shattered, scattering its holiness throughout the universe. The shattering also led to the formation of the source of evil in the material world in a narrative that echoes the formation of the Demiurge recounted in the Gnostic text The Pistis Sophia. The only way that divine light can ascend to be cast upon humanity is through the confrontation with the Qlippoth, who themselves embody sin. This process is referred to as "Tikkun" in Kabbalistic thought, in which navigating the Qlippoth to restore the divine light of the Ein Sof will usher in the Messianic Era. That Kabbalistic tenet serves as the foundation of "Tikkun Olam" in a modern Jєωιѕн culture which obfuscates is esoteric origin.
Just as Kabblah serves as the basis for Tikkun Olam, its distortion such as in the teachings of Jacob Frank serves as an obvious foundation for the abuse perpetrated across Israel brought to light by the victims testifying before the Knesset about the ritualistic abuse they suffered. The clinical psychologist who extrapolated the Kabbalistic undertones of the abuse detailed in Barkan's report succinctly described this dynamic, stating "Spiritual frameworks can be misappropriated to justify deviations from norms while demanding blind faith." Just as that dynamic was central to the cult of personality heretics like Jacob Frank cultivated to manipulate their followers, perpetrators of the ritualistic abuse detailed in the report use this framework to brainwash their victims to instill a sense of Stockholm Syndrome within them.
The complexity and obscurity of not just Lurian Kabbalah but its multiple iterations that have been cast into the shadows of even darker secrecy highlights the religious forces shaping Israel and its influence on the world. For example, adherents of Sabbateanism and later Franksim become instrumental in laying the foundations for what would become Zionism. Numerous political movements and figures were Sabbatean, including members of the Young Turks. Louis Brandeis, the first Jєωιѕн Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court was the descendant of a prominent Frankist family from Prague. Brandeis inherited a picture of Eva Frank, the daughter and successor of the movements founder passed onto him from his mother. These, among other historical instances, highlight the how these forces have been able to surreptitiously infiltrate the highest echelons of world Jewry.

The influence of similar occult forces on religious and political leaders in modern Israel is evident from the testimony of ritual child sex abuse survivors brought before the Knesset. One such victim highlighted their presence when she spoke about the deities her abusers worshiped during the rituals. "The gods I remember are Baal Peor and Ashtoreth. I vaguely recall statues. I remember them saying 'our lord Peor and our lady Ashtoreth.' Baal Peor and Ashtoreth are each venerated as Moabite iterations of deities worshiped by Canaanites, demonstrating the heretical nature of the abuse.
Given the power brokers involved in these esoteric practices throughout history, the confluence of ritualistic child sex abuse rife with undertones of Kabbalism, the occult, and Satanism with important political and religious figures in Israel comes as no surprise. As the testimony of survivors of this kind of ritual abuse demonstrates, the narrative that these practices are conspiracy theories looks to be little more than an attempt at narrative control by the forces implicated within them. The effectiveness of that tactic begs questions about how many of allegations of ritualistic child sex abuse that have been dismissed on those grounds have been true all along.
