Jewish Approaches to Halloween
Marla asked...
I have a 7 year old son. Can you refer me to something that would help me describe Jewish views on Halloween?
I found precious little on the subject online. The few links appear here.

Should Jewish kids trick and treat?
A Jewish Family & Life! Investigation:
Is Halloween a Jewish holiday?

"Halloween is not a Jewish holiday. You should go to work as usual. And don't fast."
Can Jews "trick or treat," even on Shabbat?
This year, Halloween falls on Friday night. Help Aliza understand this dilemma.
