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?
