The rabbi, Leib Glanz, 53, was charged along with his brother, Menashe Glanz, 49, in a two-count criminal complaint that accuses them of stealing more than $200,000 in Section 8 rent subsidies over 15 years.
The federal subsidies were paid for a duplex apartment at 85 Ross Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where Menashe Glanz, on applications and recertifications for low-income housing benefits, falsely claimed to live with his family, according to the complaint.
But the complaint, sworn out by Mark Linter, an investigator with the New York City Department of Investigation, says that Leib Glanz actually lived in the apartment with his family. The federal benefits were paid to the apartment's owner, the United Talmudical Academy, which employed Menashe Glanz.
The case was also investigated by the United States attorney's office in Manhattan, which is prosecuting the two men. They were expected to appear in Federal District Court in Manhattan later Wednesday afternoon.
Leib Glanz's lawyer, Alan Vinegrad, declined to comment on the charges. Joseph Grob, Menashe Glanz's lawyer, was not immediately available for comment.
Leib Glanz, a rumpled man with a graying beard, has a long history of access and influence, of seeking favors and performing them, and of acting as a liaison between the insular world of the Satmars and elected officials, according to city records and interviews.
Indeed, for more than two decades, he has been something of a Satmar master of ceremonies, arranging official tours of the community - based in Williamsburg - translating Yiddish for political leaders, charming mayors and their aides with gifts and then soliciting money and support for his sect's priorities.

Former Jail Rabbi Charged
An orthodox Jewish rabbi who resigned as a city jail chaplain after reports surfaced that he had arranged a six-hour bar mitzvah party behind bars was charged Wednesday in Manhattan federal court with unrelated housing fraud.
Leib Glanz, who belongs to the ultra-religious Satmar sect, and his brother, Menashe Glanz, surrendered after they were accused of a $200,000 scheme in Brooklyn.
Over 15 years, according to the complaint, federal Section 8 housing benefits were paid for a duplex apartment in Williamsburg, where Menashe Glanz, 49 years old, claimed to live. That apartment was, in fact, occupied by 53-year-old Leib Glanz, according to the complaint, and the benefits were paid to the apartment's landlord, United Talmudical Academy, which employed Menashe.
An attorney for Leib Glanz did not respond to a request for comment. An attorney for Menashe Glanz could not be reached for comment.
Until June 2009, Leib Glanz, a politically connected rabbi, was a part-time corrections chaplain at the Manhattan Detention Center in Lower Manhattan.
After the New York Post reported that he had arranged for a Jewish inmate to throw a kosher, privately catered bar mitzvah party in the facility for his son, the rabbi was suspended. He resigned after the city's Department of Investigation began probing the bar mitzvah.
