Maybe you're celebrating Hanukkah this week (BSR team member Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer and I are having fun this December trading as many spellings as we can find), getting ready for Christmas on Sunday, observing the start of Kwanzaa on Monday, and/or planning a New Year's celebration next weekend. It's a lot! This week's articles offer a chance for important reflections among the festivities, and we're also giving a shout to a special event tonight at Bob & Barbara's Jazz Lounge. Philly favorite Dito van Reigersberg (AKA Martha Graham Cracker) needs your help (along with many others facing cancer).
Tomorrow, Kyle will be coming to you with a roundup of his favorite BSR pieces of 2022. And then we'll be taking a break until next year. We look forward to seeing you again on the other side, and hope that some rest is in the cards for you as well.
If you enjoy BSR, consider donating as the year wraps up! You'll be powering our staff and writers in 2023.
