 InterfaithCandy.com and Werewolf Bar MitzvahOn the main site, we are running two opinion pieces, one in favor and one opposed to doing Halloween as a Jew. I admit it. I’ve never been that interested in Halloween. I went through a phase of feeling guilty that Halloween was a watered-down version of this major Celtic pagan holiday Samhain. Then several pagan and Wiccan friends of mine told me that I shouldn’t feel guilty. Well, all right. I can go feel guilty about something else, and go trick-or-treating with my kid if he wants. He wants.
In the meantime, some wonderful person left a bowl of these amazing chocolate covered stuffed dates in the kitchen of the offices we share with many other Jewish organizations. So I had the insight that, because the dates are from Saudi Arabia, we could be interfaithCANDY.com. Ha ha, thank you, thank you, I’m here all week folks. I’ll just embed my Jewish-themed Halloween video now, shall I? It’s below the cut.(You can read the lyrics here, “boys becoming men, men becoming wolves!”) CommentsNote: All comments on InterfaithFamily are moderated.

Growing up in the 60s in a sheltered country club community on the north shore of Long Island, I LOVED Halloween. For us it was monumental fun. Well here we are in Myrtle Beach, SC, and our house in our neighborhood is lucky to get 2 trick or treaters. And what seems to have replaced the old time trick or treating I enjoyed so much as a kid are organized Halloween parties with games and candy sponsored by the local recreation centers. Ah . . . memories.
