The Malochim were founded by Rabbi Chaim Avraham Dov Ber Levine, also known as "The Malach" (lit.
When the Malachim openly challenged Mendlowitz's authority, they were barred from entering the mesivta by older students and in 1936 and left Torah Vodaas to establish their own yeshiva called Nesivos Olam.
Nesivos Olam, located at 205 Hewes St. in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, was led by Rabbi Meyer Weberman,[4] although due to his poor health and after his death, his son Rabbi Mordechai Wolf (William) Weberman, a prominent member of Neturei Karta, began serving in the mid-2000s as its semi-official leader.

Once a woman is said to have approached a former Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, complaining that her son had become a Malach [Hebrew for "angel"].
