On Saturday, Chief William Barbera of the Rockland County Sheriff's Office said eight-year-old Yosef Goldman was celebrating Sukkot with six other children and a man driving the motorboat.
On Friday afternoon, the boat flipped in choppy waters off Haverstraw, about 30 miles north of New York City. Four boys and two girls – all under 12 – managed to cling on to the floating vessel with the man, but Yosef was missing. Divers found him below the overturned boat. He was declared dead at a hospital.
