CAMDEN, N.J. — The mistress of a rabbi charged with arranging the slaying of his wife testified Tuesday that he once told her about a dream in which “violence was coming” to his spouse and that she ultimately feared for her life.

Rabbi Fred Neulander, 60, is accused of setting up the bludgeoning death of his wife, Carol, in 1994 so he could pursue the affair with Elaine Soncini, a former Philadelphia radio personality. He is charged with murder and conspiracy.

Elaine Soncini said she met Neulander the day her husband, Ken Garland, died in December 1992. After the funeral, she testified, the rabbi asked if they could meet for lunch.

They were having “relations” within two weeks, she said--either at her house during lunch or in his office at Congregation M’kor Shalom, the temple he founded with his wife in wealthy Cherry Hill, southeast of Philadelphia.

Defense lawyer Jeffrey Zucker acknowledged to jurors that the rabbi had an affair, but said his client is not on trial for adultery. Soncini said the relationship was imm

The Rabbi and the Hit Man: A True Tale of Murder, Passion, and Shattered Faith

July 11, 2017

It all begins with a funeral in New Jersey. Carol Neulander is laid to rest while a rabbi recites a prayer and handfuls of dirt are thrown onto her coffin. The author is good. He quickly points out the fact that Carol’s loving husband, Rabbi Fred Neulander was visiting one of his flock just nine hours before the murder, for “some afternoon love.” Fred was the head cheese at a local synagogue. He tells the police that he had a great marriage, but his son Matthew says that his mother asked for divorce only days before the murder. At the shiva for his dead wife, Freddie tells how many Jews does it take to change a light bulb jokes. The police hear rumors of affairs and it heightens their interest in the rabbi.

Carol came from money. Fred did not, but they shared a Jewish background. Like the Jefferson’s, he was movin
