Goel Ratzon (Hebrew: גואל רצון, born 19 September 1950) is an Israeli polygamist who led a cult in Hatikva Quarter in south Tel Aviv.

In September 2014, Tel Aviv-Yafo District Court convicted Ratzon of rape, fraud and other offences against his wives and daughters.

In these years, he earned his living from funds transferred to him by his wives, either salaries of their work as housewives or their income support as single mothers from Israel's national social security agency, Bituah Leumi.

[4] A day after broadcasting Tapiro and Barda's report, Ratzon was interviewed by Israeli TV Channel 2 and claimed that he had only assisted women who needed his help and nothing else.

The exposure gained the interest of the public and the media, and while many considered it as a cult Ratzon and his wives claimed it to be a cooperative.

The rules covered many aspects of life, which included the education of the children, daily management of the housekeeping, and the order of the sexual relations with Ratzon.

According to an article on Israeli radio station Galei Tzahal, Ratzon's wives declared themselves as single parents and consequently gained some benefits.

[8][9] Galit, one of the wives who left him, whose two sisters also participated in his community, had filed a complaint against him for raping her when she was a minor at the age of 14.

After receiving Galit's complaint, the police had been keeping Ratzon and his wives under surveillance using hidden cameras and eavesdropping.

His wives and children broke off their relations with him, except for his son Yigal who supports him and declared that he would rebuild his father's harem.
