Top 50 Hottest Jewish Men of 2014 (40-31)

Welcome to Shalom Life’s 3^rd annual JILF list. Last week, we have honored the 50 most beautiful Jewish women in the world, but what about all the male Hebrew hotties? Let us celebrate them as well with another 5 days of Jewlicious beauties.

We understand that beauty is oft times indescribable, inexpressible, and ineffable, and always in the eye of the beholder. Some people focus entirely on physical attractiveness, while others delve a little deeper, finding attraction in intellect, talent, personality, and a certain “je ne sais quoi”.

Allow us to present the 50 Hottest Jewish Men of 2014! Check back in every day as we unveil 10 at a time. Before reading #40-31 below, make sure you’re all caught up!
