Reply To: Is A Jew Permitted To Celebrate Halloween?

Joseph,
There are a couple of points you really missed.
You are so concerned with asking a Shyalah” when you really don’t understand what the shayleh is all about, as you are total confusing issues. No one asked if you can “celebrate’ Halloween, rather, the question was if you can give a gift or candy משום דרכי שלום or איבה. That is not equivalent to celebrating, or following anything of chukos hagoy.
Your lack of basic knowledge on this sugya is astounding, anyone familiar a bit, knows that in חו”ל gifts are only assur the very same day, there are different levels of AZ ,Chgam and אידם . You are mixing them all together. For a change, before you attack learn at least the one siman of simple Shulchan Aruch. Go thru YD siman 148:12 the Rema, and you will see all these were already permitted in those times. No need to say that it is permitted when the ones celebrating are not even religious, or even Xtians in the first place.
