[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love it if spring break could be over Passover every year so we didn't have to worry so much about food for our kids, as we keep Passover.

But this is the life we chose and the school district we chose. We do take extra days off during the holiday for extended travel to family. [/quote]

Interesting. For us, I'd hate to have Passover coincide with spring break bc then we'd have to keep Passover while traveling. That's a pain. [/quote]

Sure, I'd love to have Passover off too, but given that the dates change every year, and more people want Easter off, I don't see it happening.

I super resent having to choose between taking vacation days and observing major Jewish holidays, but ultimately we live in a Christian country, whether we like it or not. [/quote]

I use sick days for Jewish holidays, rather than vacation, partly on the theory that among other things I'm doing, I'm caring for my kids those days.[/quote]

Yeah that wouldn't pass most HR's sniff test. Religious holidays don't mean you're sick.[/quote]

Sick time at my company can be used for days when I need to be home with a kid, too. Or do you take vacation when your kids are sick?[/quote]
