NJB+ DC is a social organization for the Jewish LGBTQ+ community in the DMV region. NJB+ continued to mature when Michael took over in 2009. NJB Pageant.

We have been a local, volunteer-driven community organization in Washington, D.C., since 2005. Adam, the founder of NJB+, worked with the Jewish Community Center to create this space. This effort was complemented by the establishment of Nice Jewish Girls, a network for le****ns, and Gayyim, the more mature partner to NJB+. Furthering its mission, Blake became the second coordinator of NJB+ in summer 2006 and expanded the group’s visibility and membership, furthering its reputation in the community. His extensive experience in the LGBTQ+ community allowed NJB+ to conduct more outreach, begin monthly happy hours and other events, and revamp its internet presence. He was followed by J.T. Jonathan Gilad chaired NJB+ from June 2011 through December 2013. His leadership built a steering committee that grew NJB+’s programming to include social sports, quarterly Shabbat dinners, annual participation in Capital Pride and the Mr. Ben Rosenbaum became NJB+'s 5th Chair in January, 2014. The current president of NJB+ is Alex Chaves, who started in January 2023.
