It’s Halloween. Its Shabbas. What’s a good Jew to do?
Hand out challah rolls? Dress as the Sabbath bride?
JTA has an op-ed about letting your kids go trick-or-treating, and we had three educators weigh in on the debate last year.
But I’m happy to celebrate both. Trick-or-treaters are allowed while the sun is still out (the safest time to go), and Shabbas after the candles are lit.
I guess I should be thankful that Daylight Savings Time didn’t happen last week. Nothing says being a bad neighbor like ceasing the candy distribution at 4:30 pm.
challah
Pronounced: KHAH-luh, Origin: Hebrew, ceremonial bread eaten on Shabbat and Jewish holidays.
