A couple months ago, I found myself at one of my old friend’s Hanukkah party. At the party, many of my old friends were scattered around the dining room table and living room, chatting as we ate latkes and chicken. Towards the end of the party, we lit the menorah, sang the traditional Hanukkah prayers and tunes, and ultimately relaxed.

According to traditional gender roles, the father is the provider for the family. He is expected to work hard to support and provide for his family’s essential needs: food, shelter, and clothing. Burdened with the responsibility of ensuring the security of the other members of his family, he is sometimes perceived as a distant and detached figure, in contrast with the stereotypical warm and nurturing image of the mother. The father 's burden is further compounded by a socially-perceived expectation that males have to be less emotional as a sign of strength of character. Robert Hayden’s sonnet “Those Winter Sundays” explores some of these dynamics by examining the emotional distance between a father and the son for whom he provides.
