The ex-wife of a rabbi, who had secretly videotaped her ex-husband meeting with prostitutes on the Sabbath, has been arrested after she posed as a psychiatrist and billed an insurance company despite not having a medical license

Amora Rachelle, 35, has been arrested in Westbury by DA investigators and charged with grand larceny in the third degree, falsifying business records in the first degree, scheme to defraud in the first degree, offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree, and unauthorized practice, all felonies. Rochelle faces up to seven years in prison if convicted. Bail was set at $10,000 bond or $5,000 cash. “The real victims in this case are Rachelle’s unsuspecting patients who thought they were being treated by a licensed professional,” Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said. “Unfortunately, they were being strung along by a con artist who built her medical practice on lies and greed.” In July of 2011, Rachelle was involved in a heated custody battle with her ex-husband, Rabbi Avraham Rabinowich, after she released a videotape she secretly filmed in 2006 of Rabinowich meeting with prostitutes on the Sabbath shortly after services.
