A senior rabbi in the Haredi community, Dov Lando, has ordered the removal of five children from their mother, Dass, after she distanced herself from religious observance. The incident, which is described as a common phenomenon in the Haredi sector, came to light through documents and recordings obtained by the newspaper Haaretz.

Dass received a call from her 14-year-old son around 9 p.m., asking to speak with her outside their home. Upon meeting him, he informed her that he and his siblings had met with Rabbi Lando, who instructed them to immediately cease contact with her. The son revealed that the rabbi's decision had already been implemented, as he and their father had taken the four younger siblings from the home before he met with Dass. Rabbi Lando had decided the children would no longer live with their mother.
