(Jewish Group) 4 Nice Jewish Boys. 1 high-stakes pageant. Who will win?
Attention, Washington, D.C.: One of these charmers will soon be your very own Mr. Nice Jewish Boy, 2022. Photo by Forward Collage
What does it mean to be a Nice Jewish Boy?
An annual pageant in D.C. aims to give an answer — with a twist.
The pageant, held this Sunday with proceeds donated to Keshet — a national LGBTQ+ organization that supports queer Jews — will feature performers like local D.C. drag queen Venus Valhalla, the event’s host. So if you hear “Nice Jewish Boy” and roll your eyes at the concept — so staid, so traditional — think again.
Four contestants hoping to take home the coveted sash, crown and title will take the stage and compete in three events: a talent show, a dance number and a Q&A session.
We asked all the contestants why they should be the one true Mr. Nice Jewish Boy 2022. All are persuasive, but only one can win. Who will it be?
