Rabinovitch was the dean of the Birkat Moshe hesder Yeshiva in Maale Adumim and a highly respected authority on Jewish law.
Born in Montreal, Canada in 1929, Rabinovitch was ordained by dean of the Ner Yisroel Yeshiva in Baltimore Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchok Ruderman, but also obtained a master's degree in mathematics from Johns Hopkins University and a PhD in Philosophy of Science from the University of Toronto.

Rabinovitch spent much of his life serving as a communal rabbi and teaching in the US and UK, and made aliyah to Israel in 1983.

Rabinovitch was on the radical right of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and was fiercely against the Oslo Accords, reportedly advocated for settlements to take measures to prevent their evacuation by the IDF.
