Wednesday, October 31, 2018: “Halloween.” In recent years, a number of rabbis have discouraged their congregants and their congregants’ children from celebrating Halloween due to the holiday’s Christian origins. Halloween is celebrated as a secular holiday now, so should Halloween celebrations be discouraged by Jewish organizations (JCCs, synagogues, etc.)? What are your Halloween memories growing up? Did you go trick-or-treating? Did your children? Would you agree with the rabbis who say celebrating Halloween is too much assimilation?
