The Rabbi Came Second (at the Wedding)

Andrew Lippa, a composer, and David Bloch, a film marketing executive, were married on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Diane Wayne, a retired judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, officiated at the home of Paula Holt, a friend of Judge Wayne’s.

On Sunday, Rabbi Daniel Sklar will lead a religious ceremony with his wife, Cantor Shirah Sklar, at the Mr. Lippa’s and Mr. Bloch’s country house in Milford, Pa.

Well, Jewish Family Service

Mr. Bloch...is a son of Ellen Bloch and Donald M. Bloch of Framingham, Mass. His mother retired from the Jewish Family Service of Metrowest in Framingham.

And when love fits

Mr. Lippa and Mr. Bloch met in May 1998 in the lobby of the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater at Lincoln Center...Mr. Lippa said he was “instantly smitten” by Mr. Bloch. “I felt that magic thing you feel with someone who fits,” he said.
