Rabbi Elior Chen fled Israel to seek refuge in Canada.
Not because he was being persecuted, as so many others do, nor was he fleeing a war-torn area.
Chen came to Canada to avoid criminal prosecution.
Israel issued an arrest warrant for him in connection to charges of beating children as young as three with hammers and knives to discipline them.
