From PJ Grisar at the Forward (formerly The Jewish Daily Forward, indeed formerly exclusively in Yiddish), one of twenty-two:
Lin-Manuel Miranda, who continues to be Yeshiva University’s most high profile pitchman, announces a partnership with YU’s theater club to launch a new musical about the life and times of Benjamin Cardozo. A sample lyric: “Everybody knows I’m the poet laureate of jurisprudence/Repping Common Law just like I’m reppin all the Juden/You know my reputation, my legal acumen/Appeal to me as Chief Judge, but you can call me Ben.”
