TEANECK – A Teaneck rabbi has been indicted on charges that he molested two 13-year-old Israeli boys in his Lindbergh Boulevard home.

Rabbi Uzi Rivlin, 63, allegedly molested the boys in 2009 and 2010 when they were visiting the United States as participants in a scholarship program that Rivlin found. The program brings orphans and other disadvantaged Israeli boys to the United States.

After the two boys returned to Israel, they separately informed authorities that Rivlin had sexually abused them. Israeli authorizes then notified the FBI, which contacted Teaneck Police and the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, according to a press release from the prosecutor.
