12 Of Hollywood's Best-Looking Nice Jewish Boys

Growing up Jewish, I always noticed the lack of Hanukkah related TV programming. There was no representation of people just like me on TV. Just because there wasn't a lot of Jewish characters on TV doesn't mean there aren't a lot of Jewish celebrities. In fact, there certainly are some gorgeous NJB (nice Jewish boys) out there in Hollywood.

Note: the order in which these NJBs are presented is alphabetical so the ranking is totally up to your interpretation. And there were also way too many to choose from.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
