Hachnasat Kallah Scam
David and Tehila Rechet, 2 young Israeli's from well-to-do families were looking to make their Chatuna in a small but beautiful venue. Miri Malachi Reichenberg volunteered to host the wedding celebration in her beautiful home in Toms River.
The day before the wedding, Miri ran a charity campaign for the young couple's wedding. Kind, compassionate people were approached by Miri for donations for these "poor, Israeli newlyweds" and they gave to Miri with open wallets (after all, if the wedding was hosted in a home the couple certainly couldn't have afforded a hall). When confronted by family members of the confused bride , wondering why in the world she was raising money for them, Miri's reply was - "Don't worry, I have what to do with it. Mind your own business".
Campaign page reads(translated from the hebrew original- see image on side) :
With the help of Hashem a wonderful couple will be married tomorrow in the yard of our home.
Until today we believed that we'd take care of everything without asking for help from others.
We prayed and trusted that all that was needed would arrive from G-d's open hands.
But sometimes in life, one needs to know when to ask for help.
Tomorrow, with Hashem's help, the wedding will take place - and we really need help. We are short the last few thousand.
Wishing you to only be on the giving end.
Stole 25k from me
A few years ago, Miri called me, desperate for a 25k loan. This is after I had given her many other times, for other very urgent needs. I didn't have the money but she was saying she'd have it really soon to pay me back, and now...it's an emergency...So I got M. to lend her the money and signed a guarantee.
A week later, she came back for more money. It was all used up!? She claimed that Ari L - her husband at the time - had stolen it.
At the time, I believed her and felt sorry. But, M. needed to be repaid and I had to pay it back myself.
Eventually, much later - when I realized that Ari was a good guy and she was all a bunch of lies, I called him up to ask him about the money -- he had no clue what I was talking about.

stories from former neighbors from her westGate days
DOUBLE DIPPED ON TZEDAKA FOR SHABBOS WHILE NOT KEEPING KOSHER
I sponsored Shabbos for Miri for MONTHS. Literally a few years later I found out she went to Rabbi Rotberg (from Toms River) to Kasher her Kitchen after Oct 7th. When I sponsored her, SHE WASN'T EVEN KEEPING KOSHER! Yet she had the chutzpa to ask me to "sponsor" her Shabbos every week. But it's even worse - I asked Tomchei Shabbos why they are not taking care of her and they responded that they, along with other organizations and individuals are already taking care of it.
Her kids are in frum schools. Does she keep Shabbos?
I wonder how much she nets from tzedakah organizations from our community annually?
REVOLVING DOOR OF MALE VISITORS AT NIGHT
I lived across the street from her 26 Green Cove apartment in Westgate (until she moved out). The amount of guys that were going in and out of that apartment in the middle of the night was insane. There is no good reason to have men frequenting a divorced woman's apartment in the middle of the night. (Moshe Kelety)
CONNED MAN INTO MARRYING HER
Watched it happen myself and spoke to her myself. She conned her second husband into marrying her because he's American and she wanted a green card. The minute she got her papers she kicked him out of the house.
her (Second) ex speaks
"Miri is a total con. She cons men into sending her money. She will take you for whatever she can. She is sitting on millions of dollars. When we were together she had a roster of 10 guys that were sending her money, some weekly some monthly. She's dirty and she's not working alone. She has people working for her. She's manipulative, makes you crazy, makes you think that you're crazy, gets you to say stupid --- and then blackmails you with it. She still hits me up here and there."
(Excerpts from conversations attached)
Money Extortion
My relative is a respected rosh kollel in Lakewood and a tremendous baa'l chessed. Miri started asking him for money about 4 years ago. She posed as a poor single mother who couldn't put food on the table. "I can't pay my water bill, I can't pay tuition, I’m gonna send them to public school....I’m going to kill myself" [I saw the e-mails myself]. So he sent her money for utilities, therapy and tuition.
She then waited a few years and instead of saying thank you, tried to extort money from him by making up all kinds of crazy allegations with "evidence" - screenshots and the like, including an "interview/conversation" (staged) with another "victim" - [who after questioning months later, cracked very quickly]. She went to rabbonim and askanim with the "evidence." She then messaged him through a third party (which I saw myself) - I want 48k and you to admit on video that you did this - and then I’ll leave you alone. The Rabbonim (Rav Forscheimer etc) asked her to give over her phone for forensic screening 3 times. She refused. Her refusal, together with the extortion messages, was enough for them. But unfortunately, the damage was done.
Our family was shocked to discover that he is but one of many victims of this terrible woman.
We have evidence that Miri had actually disclosed to someone 2 years prior to making up any allegations that she planned on blackmailing the rosh kollel and extorting money from him. We were also made aware that askanim gave her thousands and thousands of dollars to help her deal with the "trauma" she experienced. As for the Rosh Kollel he was back in Bais Medrash the next day, through all the lies and evil. We admire his amazing will-power to move forward even when people whom he thought were close to him, and some who literally owe him their lives, turned against him without even having a conversation.
One thing I would say to the other victims - I recommend that you also include the names of the other people involved in the extortion...she doesn’t work alone. I can speak to anyone who wants more information.
Attached is a small sampling of the blackmail from her current husband, Yoni Reichenberg, which came along with the extortion messages. (The actual extortion will be withheld for the time being for the protection of others who's names are mentioned whom may have actually believed her...maybe they somehow didn't realize who this lady is.)
(Chaim Halevi)
faker
I've never met anyone as slick nor as sick as her. She has hurt so, so many people. Everyone knows and everyone is afraid of her. No morals or self dignity whatsoever. She doesn't pay for anything. She hasn't paid any tuition ever. Speak to Yeshiva Kol Torah directly they will tell you. She's a starving, single mom, has no money, but she lives in a mansion, had a live-in, travels the world, and just closed a new construction custom house in The Palm Estates in Toms River. She is a total fake, through and through. Don't go for her. She is the most convincing person, can cry and scream and make you think that you are the crazy one. STAY AWAY!
zion's story
Miri has her things- different entertainment situations and what she does for fun. Some guys in NY, some Lakewood, some in the city. Some of them are ppl with families. She told me that one day one guy was with her, then he went back to his wife, then came back to her. All these men are people she is trying to do deals with, and then other things come along. I got her a job and she ended up having an affair with the boss - a guy in the community and a man with a family.
My own relationship with Miri started when a relative introduced us. We dated for a bit, and pretty early on I knew she wasn’t someone I saw myself marrying. When I told her that, she got upset. She said ok, so lets do business together. I agreed. We were both doing real estate, and working together. But she kept holding onto this idea that we’d eventually get married. I told her more than once that it wasn’t going to happen. But she wanted to get married, she said I see us married, having a family, etc. I told her I am not doing this, I am not marrying you. While we dated she would come visit me in my home in ---. I heard that at the same time that we were dating, Ari was living in her house. She told me that he is going to get her a green card and she is taking care of him.
I think she got upset that I didn’t want to marry her. She went to my family in Israel - my grandparents, everyone – she told them I’m a ganiv, I’m a this and that. She went to people I know, mutual friends, trying to spread bad about me. When I left Lakewood and moved to another city, she posted that she drove me out of town, while in truth she had nothing to do with why I left town. When she heard I was thinking about posting on this website, she goes and texts my fiancé bad mouthing me, trying to convince her not to marry me.
Being around her was intense — everything with her turns into drama or extremes. She isn’t well – you can prove it. Take a test. One test. She’s a person that will lose her mind and believe her mind over the reality and the truth. I’m dying, I’m going to kill myself…. She will jump off a cliff for whatever she believes. Definitely not a stable person.
she stole our money
I can hardly believe that Miri is a fraud. I am in shock. We trusted her!
We were waiting, hoping... for the funds that we gave over to her to invest on our behalf -
Waiting today, waiting yesterday, waiting for answers that never seemed to come.
I trusted the process. But I realize now that I never received the proper details in advance. And now it makes sense why I have not received the money in return.
Every attempt to get clarity has been met with delays, vague reassurances, or outright evasion. She's been evading us for two years....
We are not asking for anything unreasonable.
We simply want transparency. We want accountability.
We want our money back.

Was the driver a young Israeli woman in a white lexus?
BEWARE! She is a wealthy woman, and a talented fraudster. Don't give her money! Share your story.
She came to my house a month ago. Driving a white Lexus SUV, collecting money for her son's Bar Mitzva. Wanted 12k. I asked her - um what's with the Lexus? Said she works for Rides to Fly.
I looked into it and heard from others that if you give her money, she will bring it as evidence to make a story up about you and how you paid her for her "services", and then will blackmail you for more money, threatening that otherwise she will publicize what you "did". If its your word against theirs, they'll believe her -
Don’t contact her directly because she will somehow, in someway, end up “having received” an inappropriate message from your number, which she will use to blackmail you with.
a danger
Miri enjoys having affairs with married men. She had countless married "boyfriends" in numerous places at the same time. When asked if it was about money, she answered that not usually. There was one guy from NY that was paying her money- a frum married man who ended getting divorced- but she's usually been in for the thrill.
Rosh Chodesh Celebration
I live very close by to her Lamdan Ln home. The amount of parties and drugs going on over there is insane. They just had a rosh chodesh pajama / pool party, with mixed dancing, married and non-marrieds...
Please kick her out of town ASAP!
C. story
A conversation with one such fake "investor"
Some of the lies she made up
My connection with this woman began about seven years ago, when she moved to America. A close friend asked me to help her — a single mother going through a difficult time — and I opened my home and my heart, supporting her in any way I could. I truly wanted her to succeed.
But slowly, things changed. People close to her told me she felt jealous of my life and my marriage, and I began noticing manipulative and hurtful behavior. I stepped back quietly and wished her well.
Years later, after separating from a business partner, she connected with that partner — both of them carrying regret, anger, and a need for attention — and together they tried to damage my reputation. All of this over one real estate deal that didn’t perform well, something that even the top professionals in today’s market face. Instead of seeking facts, she used it as an excuse to attack me.
Here are the real damages she caused:
• While I was working endlessly for my investors to create solutions during a challenging market, she brought nothing but hate and negativity
• Ruined friendships and long-standing connections
• Reached out to people she didn’t even know — anyone she saw connected to me on social media
• Messaged investors, friends, and unrelated people to spread fear and lies
• Contacted media outlets calling me a “con artist”
• Damaged my name, reputation, and deals I built for years
• Created drama, negativity, and chaos during an already difficult market
And to be clear: this deal was J. and D. deal. I partnered with them on the equity side, just like many other investors.
My professional role is to raise equity and partner with GPs on strong opportunities — and across many successful investments, this was simply one deal that faced challenges due to the market.
Months before any of this happened, people had already reached out to me saying they had lost money with her and couldn’t reach her.
So instead of taking responsibility, she waited for an opportunity to twist everything onto me — projecting her own actions and accusations directly at me.
When the situation escalated, we took her to Beis Din. They told her clearly to stop spreading lies — but she twisted that too and continued anyway. We chose not to feed the fire. We chose peace.
Then people began reaching out — quietly and privately — sharing their own negative experiences with her, admitting they had been afraid to speak up. I realized: silence only protects the wrong things.
So when I was asked to finally share my story, I agreed.
Not out of revenge — but to protect others.
What I know today:
I helped her with a pure heart.
I acted with kindness.
I never imagined it would lead to this.
But life always reveals the truth.
Good people don’t need to scream — the truth rises on its own.
And Hashem will take care of the rest.

A conversation with one such fake "investor"
Some of the lies she made up
She drove people crazy - warning them not to do business with me, and put fake numbers for them to contact to find out that we’re no good, claiming these were my investors.
One was a taxi driver and one was a rabbi - when I called those numbers I realized these are not my investors, one was a taxi driver named Aaron Kukelsky, the other a Rabbi (R David Shainfeild) - who wasn't even aware of any of this. He said I never gave permission, I know who you are and I know you are good people...

Miri used him to lie.
His name is Aaron Kugelski, never invested and never met or had anything to do with Chaya

There is a well meaning rabbi in town who is looking to get someone to learn with Miri's son for pay. Since she lives far, she is offering to drive her son to the tutor's home...
