C clergyman elopes with nun



"To the two protagonists, it is the heartwarming story of how a small-town
Conservative rabbi and a flamenco dancer-turned-Russian Orthodox nun fell in
love and wound up living together in a condo in Miami. The rabbi's heartbroken
wife and his irate former congregants, however, see a sordid tale of betrayal
and abandonment."

"Rubinger contends that before he met Villaverde, he and his wife were
experiencing marital problems because of their differing levels of religious
observance. According to the rabbi, who maintains the laws of kashrut, his wife
sometimes ate lobster and shrimp. Diana Rubinger, a 58-year-old middle school
science teacher, didn't deny the claim."
