For most Bruins, the morning of Oct. 7 marked the first home football game of the quarter and an exciting day at the Rose Bowl.
For me, it signified the start of a heartbreaking war between Israel – the Jewish homeland – and Hamas, the Iran-supported, Gaza-governing militant group that the United States has declared a terrorist organization.
Many of us have likely felt the discomfort that something better was happening in places where we were not present. Maybe we chose to stay in on a Friday night but can’t stop thinking about the party our friends are at.
When Bruins wake up feeling frustrated about a bad hair day, they may wonder why they feel emotionally invested in their hair.
Hair may feel personal because it is not only a prominent feature of an individual’s physical appearance, but it also ties people to their culture, religion or personal history.

Every holiday season growing up, people would ask me what I was doing for Christmas, to which I would reply, “I am celebrating Hanukkah because I am Jewish.”
