Is Halloween Kosher?

Today Rabbis Rachel and Marcus will discuss the holiday of Halloween. American Jews are confronted with the celebration of Halloween and each family must ask themselves- Do we celebrate Halloween? Does Halloween accord with Jewish values? How does Judaism deal with the holidays of other faiths and cultures? What does it mean to live as a minority? How do we maintain our Jewish identities while striving to be fully integrated and proud Americans? They will also examine the origin of Halloween and if ghosts and demons are talked about or believed in within the Tanakh and Rabbinic Literature.
