"Eber, 51, a member of the Boro Park Belz Hasidic community, went to South America to search for a bride after divorcing his first wife five or six years ago."
"The young woman eventually broke up with him, though mostly because she told him she didn't feel ready - she felt she was too young and believed she had rushed into taking that step."
"Matheron said he spent a lot of time with the pair, and he would often accompany them on dates to get ice cream. 'They were a religious couple, a very wholesome couple,' he said."
"Eber was drawn to Colombia because he knew a rabbi from his community who would travel there and help descendants of Spanish Inquisition exiles convert to Judaism."
