A
prominent Orthodox rabbi in the Bronx who was the focus of scrutiny for
having taken young boys naked to a sauna will keep his job, after his
synagogue’s board changed course and decided not to seek his removal.
The rabbi, Jonathan Rosenblatt of the Riverdale Jewish Center, had fought efforts to remove him and apologized for lapses in judgment, and seemed to have the support of most of the 700-member congregation.
