THIS WEEK'S EDITION: JUNE 14, 2019 Raise your hand if you remember the “orgasm” scene set at Katz’s Deli in the movie “When Harry Met Sally.” Fans of the movie lined up this week at Katz’s to fulfill their own fantasy and … fake it. The author of that piece, pop culture maven Jenny Singer, is also a “Grey’s Anatony” fanatic, and she interviewed a Jewish songwriter about how his melody for a canonical prayer ended up on the recent season finale of ABC’s hit medical drama. Meanwhile, a Seattle rabbi is looking beyond sex and death to what comes next, and what he sees is body composting, instead of the traditional burial. Kinda gives new meaning to the phrase “pushing up daisies.” June is Pride Month, but it has emerged that some folks have to be more careful about how they express their pride than others: The D.C. Dyke March banned Jewish symbols. Editor Aiden Pink had that story.
