No ‘Sex’ in the Holy City
There will be no sex in the Holy City this month. As women around the world gear up for the much-anticipated return of Carrie Bradshaw (aka Sarah Jessica Parker), who is making her debut on the silver screen this month, outdoor advertisements for “Sex and the City: The Movie” have been banned from Jerusalem and Petah Tikva by city officials. The reason, of course, is that the word “sex” is printed on the film’s posters and billboards and might offend the city’s religious denizens. The movie is based on HBO’s wildly popular series of the same name.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
