15 Ha ve a
all at the Matz oB all
Dreading another holiday season where your relatives
greet you with a, “Hi, how’s your job? Are you eating
enough? When are you going to find a nice Jewish boy-
friend/girlfriend?” Head to the MatzoBall on Christmas Eve to meet other singles in
the same boat. This year’s party will take place at Rumor Nightclub.

Annu al Au to Sho
Looking to get dressed up fancy shmancy and look at
some cars you can daydream about buying when you win
the lottery?
Check out the Annual Auto Show Philadelphia at the Conven-
tion Center Jan. 27 to Feb. 4 (black-tie tailgate Jan. 26).

It’s a fun alternative to typical winter activities and has become
a Philly staple for good reason.

Tu rn Up the Mu sic
For music lovers who don’t mind bravely standing outside
in frigid temperatures for some great live — and free! —
music, the Radio 104.5 Winter Jawn at Xfinity Live (for-
merly known as Winter Jam but changed to Winter Jawn because
Philly) is a winter staple. Former emo teens’ favorite band Dash-
board Confessional headlines this year’s concert, which in the past
has included stellar acts like Elle King and Nathaniel Rateliff and
the Night Sweats.

Of course, there will still be concerts aplenty in the nice warmth
of venues like the Wells Fargo Center and the Fillmore.

Some standouts in the next few months include: Q102’s Jingle Ball,
aka every tween parent’s nightmare, featuring a mini One Direction
reunion as Liam Payne and Niall Horan are both performers (Wells
Fargo Center, Dec. 6); Andrea Bocelli (Wells Fargo Center, Dec. 8);
The Killers (Wells Fargo Center, Jan. 13); LCD Soundsystem (The
Fillmore Dec. 5 to 7); Ladies First: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief for
Puerto Rico featuring Danielle and Jennifer, Mixed People, Prima
Donna, Roxy Rollz and Sylvia Platypus (World Cafe Life, Jan. 27).

o Se e a Performance
Is it really the holidays if you don’t go see a performance of
The Nutcracker? I think not.

The Pennsylvania Ballet will take you to the Land of
Sweets this season from Dec. 8 to 31 at the Academy of Music.

Celebrate Leonard Bernstein with the Philadelphia Orchestra
in December with artist-in-residence Hilary Hahn. The orchestra
will celebrate the Jewish composer throughout December with Ser-
enade, a musical retelling of Plato’s ode to love, written for Bern-
stein’s friend Isaac Stern (no relation). Or hear The Glorious Sound
of Christmas from Dec. 14 to 17.

Wars: The Last Jedi however many times you like. l
