‘L’Chaim’: Broadway Composer Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Wedding Surprise
By Debra Nussbaum Cohen September 13, 2010
At the September 5th wedding of Tony Award-winning Broadway composer and lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and attorney Vanessa Nadal, the groom organized a surprise for his love.
It was a wonderful take on the classic song “L’Chaim” from the fantastic 1971 movie “Fiddler on the Roof.”
You can see the recent wedding’s version here.
It wins my vote for the best-ever rendition of a classic Jewish song at a non-Jewish wedding.
I’m personally matching all gifts to the Forward, up to $36,000. Can I match your gift now?

I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
