New York rabbi drowns after jumping in lake to save child

The body of a New York rabbi was found a day after he jumped into an upstate lake to save one of his children from drowning, JTA reported on Tuesday.

The child was wearing a life jacket and was returned safely to the rented pontoon boat on Greenwood Lake in Orange County on Sunday afternoon. His father, Rabbi David Traub, 38, who was not wearing a life jacket, was not able to make it back to the boat and was pulled under the water.
