The Shadmon’s Family: A Facade of Respectability and the Darkness Behind It
The Appearance of Respectability
Imagine a family that, at first glance, seems respectable and successful.
Gilad Shadmon — an ambitious politician, confidently climbing the ladder of power.
His wife, Tael Shadmon, is the person “responsible for preventing sexual assaults” within the word cult Kabbalah La’Am o Kabbalah for the People.
Their son, Shlomo Shadmon, appears to be just an ordinary young man.
But once you strip away the facade, everything collapses — darkness, corruption, and moral decay.
At the Kabbalah for the People Center — Michael Laitman
At the heart of this nightmare stands Michael Laitman, leader of the Kabbalah La’Am or Kabbalah for the People word cult.
He calls himself a teacher, a rabbi, a spiritual guide — but behind the mask lie dozens of stories of rape and manipulation.
Women — students, wives of followers, vulnerable individuals — were deceived.
They were told that sexual relations with him would lead to “spiritual elevation.”
Some found the courage to come forward and testify in court. Others stood outside the word cult center in Petah Tikva holding signs, desperately trying to be heard.
But perhaps the most horrifying thing is this: Gilad and Tael knew.
They Knew — and Stayed Silent
- They know — and remain silent.
- They know — and lie under oath.
- They know — and continue to receive salaries from Laitman’s word cult.
- They know — and continue to serve and protect their “teacher.”
Tael Shadmon herself admitted during court testimony: When women came to her, crying, saying that Laitman had raped them — She did nothing.
On paper, she “fought against violence,” but in reality — she turned a blind eye and convinced everyone nothing was happening.
This isn’t just indifference — it’s complicity.
- Link to court transcript where Tael Shadmon confirmed that she did nothing even knowing that Lightman was raping students.
Shlomo Shadmon — Continuing the Path
And their son, Shlomo Shadmon, followed in Laitman’s footsteps:
He was accused of raping a female colleague during his military service.
And again — connections, an expensive lawyer, court delays.
And again — silence.
The Forgotten Victim in the Family — Yam Shadmon
But there’s another person in this family the world isn’t supposed to know about:
Yam Shadmon, another son of Gilad.
Today, Yam is homeless.
Abandoned. Alone. Living on the streets — with no support, not even from his own father. He survives by eating from dumpsters.
Gilad Shadmon, a man who wants to represent the people, cannot even take care of his own son.
How can he claim to serve society if he’s rejected his own flesh and blood?
If he can’t show the most basic human compassion to his own child, how can anyone expect him to show responsibility toward the public?
This isn’t just a political failure — it’s a profound personal moral collapse.
Political Rise — A Gift from Laitman
And who gave Gilad his place in politics? Michael Laitman… through Minister of Education Yoav Kisch.
Today, Gilad Shadmon confidently walks the corridors of power.
But behind him lie blood, tears, and silence.
This family didn’t just turn a blind eye.
They became the hands and shields of a predator.
They became his mouthpiece. His legitimacy. His alibi.
This Is Not Spirituality
What they’re involved in — this is not spirituality.
This is not leadership.
This is not a noble cause.
This is — shame.
This is — betrayal.
This is — active participation in systematic abuse.
A Question for the Future
And if today, with limited power, they are already protecting predators — what will happen tomorrow, when they have even more?
A Message to the Followers
Followers. Citizens. Students of Laitman — open your eyes.
This is not a “higher purpose.”
This is a toxic system, where victims are silenced and perpetrators are rewarded with positions and influence.
This is a stain, and it will follow every person who continues to support these people or refuses to break ties with this cult.
Final Words: Shame and Severing Ties
Shame — that should be your companion if you still call yourself a student of Michael Laitman.
Shame — and the desire to cut all ties, once and for all.
Because the truth is already out.
And there is no more room for denial.
