Sexy Jewish pinup calendars in ‘naughty vs nice’ holy war

?w=720&h=480&crop=1


Ethan Kaplan, 23, was raised in conservative Judaism, went to an Orthodox middle school and is well-versed in Jewish humor. He was, your grandmother might say, a real mensch — the epitome of a nice Jewish boy.
So when the chance came to wipe the “nice” right out of that sentence, he took it.

Hearing of a photographer seeking Jewish men for a sexy calendar, he agreed to pose, and did the most not-nice thing a Jewish boy could do: He posed for the shoot in the nude, with nothing but a tzedakah box — the box Jews use to collect contributions in temple — to cover his schmeckle.
“Jewish men are looked at as having no attractiveness,” says Kaplan, a senior at Hunter College who’s majoring in film.
“We’re seen as being very by-the-books. In Hollywood, Jewish women are starting to be seen as beautiful — with women like Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman — but you don’t hear about Jewish guys that are sexy.”

Also smart and funny. There I go with my stereotypical analysis, again. I can't help myself. It started with that crush on Jerry Seinfeld.
