The Secrets Exposed

I am coming forward to expose the truth and the share the injustice that my children and I have suffered at the hand of  Rabbi Avraham Rabinowich.  The purpose of coming forward at this moment is to put an end to the abuse and pain inflicted upon us by my ex husband and hopefully give strength and hope to other woman and children who suffer at the hands of people in positions of religious and political power.

I was married to Rabbi Avraham Rabinowich for 4 years, arranged by a prominent Rabbi In Boston with the expectation that I was devoting my life to a moral and ethical standard.  The guise of propriety began to unravel shortly after our nuptials.  The anger and abuse both physically and emotional began to emerge  as I became fearful and conflicted as to what life I was living.  Further Information began to emerge about his criminal history of arrest, abduction by his father which caused his mother not to see him for over twenty years, false rabbinical degree, arrest record for stealing with minors, monetary illegal conduct and  disorderly conduct. 

After I filed for divorce my ex and his father threatened to kidnap the three children and threatened my life if I was to press the issue, I sought protection from the NY Family Court and was granted an order of protection against both my ex-husband and his father in 2004. As a Clinical Health Psychologist, it was clear to me that my children were being negatively impacted by ex-husband’s abusive behavior and unwillingness to seek therapy for his sociopathic behavior.

The divorce started in 2004 and after my ex- refused to grant me a get (jewish divorce) for years despite Rabbi’s contacting him to oblige, the divorce was finalized in August of 2004 after he was caught on tape with the prostitutes.  He was subsequently exiled from the Orthodox Community and sought refuge in the conservative jewish domain.

My ex- husband took me to court again in 2007, making false abuse allegations, filing false CPS reports which have ALL been unfounded, lodging numerous complaints against me including one before the Nassau County Family Court where I was interning as a Psychologist and Child and Family Advocate of Hofstra Law School., going into my second year of law school.  I was forced to leave my employment at the court and subsequently have put my studies on hold.

Mr. Rabinowich  has also engaged in violating orders of protections, investigating me day and night, harassing the children and I, my family, my employment and even my synagogue.

The children have suffered tremendously and the Children for Justice Foundation wrote a letter regarding their concern for the well being of the children, as well as physicians, therapist, teachers and more to the court. They have been gravely affected by my ex-husband’s abusive conduct and they must be protected.

Unfortunately, these facts have been overshadowed by my ex-husband’s manipulation of the court system,  a Judge who adjudicated my case for over 7 years who is currently being investigated for racketeering with a litigant and system that is corrupted and is failing families daily.

Judge Laura Drager of the NY Supreme Court of Manhattan did not order child support, alimony, dragged the case for seven years, exhausting all my resources and legal fees, and causing my children and I emotional distress by having to be subjected to four forensics, three attorneys for the children, false cps investigations and admitted illegal funds received by an officer of the court by my ex-husband and his family to bias the custody decision.

Due to many years of abuse and legal injustice, I am forced to relocate back to where I grew up because my ex-husband continues to harass me and the children, refuses to provide my three children with a safe environment and monetary support and has continued his ongoing attempts to destroy me personally and professionally.

After filing a relocation petition in Nassau County Family Court, Mr. Rabinowich has violated orders of protection, was arrested on June 12^th, 2011 facing three charges of criminal contempt and has violated the custody order, taking the children on June 21^st and refusing to return them.

The children have texted, asking to be located on GPS and are upset and worried about the circumstances Mr. Rabinowich has created. Mr. Rabinowich threatened to not return the children and given his history of kidnapping and abuse, I was advised my rabbinical authorities to expose the story in order to help protect my children’s safety.

Judge Stack of the Nassau Family Court urged Mr. Rabinowich to make a reasonable visitation arrangement for the summer pending the relocation trial , but he refused and deflected his threats of kidnap , a typical pattern of abusive people.

While Judge Aaron from the Nassau Family Court issued a writ ordering Mr. Rabinowich return the children, Mr. Rabinowich has refused to follow the court orders and has kept the children now for over three weeks and  not allowed the children to communicate with me.
