“It’s definitely an inconvenience,”
Pivenshteyn said.

Adding to the inconvenience is that
Chanukah starts at the end of Thanksgiving
week, and then runs through Dec. 6.

In early December, parent work sched-
ules are not yet in holiday/end-of-the-year
mode. They are still normal, according to
Charles Schnur of Center City.

Schnur is the director of student
conduct at Delaware County Community
College. His wife is an adjunct instructor
there. Their semester doesn’t end until
mid-December. So, during Chanukah,
they will be focusing on closing out the
term. The parents of a 5-month-old son
will still find time to light the candles
and give him presents. But unlike most
years, they probably won’t be able to
attend candle-lightings and other public
Chanukah events.

“It depends what night of the week,
how late, how busy and whether we want
to schlep the child out,” Schnur said.
