I'm responding off-list because this is a question easily answered on the Tor websites ;-) A bridge is a Tor entry node that isn't in the official list of Tor nodes. The person operating the bridge sets it up, and distributes its descriptor to the people who they want to use the bridge. In most cases bridge operators share the descriptors with the Tor Project, and then they distribute the descriptors to end-users.
