Sundown last night marked the official first day of Hanukkah. It’s that festive time of year to whip out the dreidel, indulge guilt-free in gelt, and laugh with your friends and family over latkes. So, to celebrate this special eight-day holiday known as The Festival of Lights, we’ve rounded up—you guessed it—eight nice Jewish boys who will ignite your Instagram feed this holiday. Consider it our gift to you.
Challah!

If there’s one Hanukkah party we’d give all our gelt to attend, it would be Aubrey Drake Graham’s—more commonly known as Drake, October’s Very Own, Champagne Papi…he first captured hearts as Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi and is now winning the hip-hop game, even dedicating a song to his mama Sandi.

@davegilboa
When he co-founded Warby Parker, he shook up the eyewear industry (and disrupted e-commerce in a bigger way). He’s also shaking up what it means to be a great boss, regularly posting goofy and fun #teamwarby photos from his office and the crop of new stores popping up around the country. He’s also clearly a sweet, family-oriented guy who loves his adorable nieces.

Daniel grew up in Ohio, but now calls Miami home, where he runs VFD Marketing working with everyone from Guess and PlayStation to UFC fighters and multi-platinum artists. Clearly his job means serious business, but he’s also a fun-loving dude with great humor who’s clearly not afraid to take on a challenge or a bet.

The head of social media for Harry’s—another disruptive delivery service with unsurprising familial ties to the Warby crew—is also one of the most approachable guys in town, which is helpful considering he also edits Five O’Clock, the shaving brand’s beautifully designed magazine. Follow him to behind-the-scenes moments and his quirky sense of humor.

@jesseisrael
A natural-born entrepreneur, Jesse wanted to create something people can experience, not just buy. Enter The Big Quiet, a guided group meditation with the goal of giving urban warriors some much-needed zen all together. (He’s taken over Central Park, an urban farm in Williamsburg, the Domino Sugar Factory, and a boat at sunset.) His feed is as airy, colorful and lively as his line of work.

Jeremy lives a pretty stylized life—tailored #menswear, art gallery hopping, freshly opened restaurants—and his line of minimal and simple athletic apparel Ten Thousand is designed with that type of existence in mind. Just looking at his feed won’t get you that exact day-to-day vibe, but it’s a great place to start.

Jeremy is a man of great taste, so he was constantly getting hit up for restaurant recommendations in Chicago where he got his MBA. Instead of just firing off a list of places, he took it one step further and developed Table Savvy, a middleman service that gives diners access to last-minute rezzies plus 30% off the check. He’s all about bringing people together, and his feed is full of ideas for where to hang in his city.

@notoriousjrg
Jordan grew up in LA, so regularly rubbing elbows in the entertainment world isn’t anything new,. By day, he’s busy evolving the digital arm at Lionsgate developing new programming, off the clock, though, he’s always putting his family first, and his nieces make plenty of Insta-cameos. (And we’re not yentas, but he’s single. Just saying.)
