Is celebrating Halloween against Jewish law? Discover surprising insights as we explore the intersection of Halloween customs and Halacha. We dig into Halloween’s origins, tracing its evolution from ancient Celtic rituals to its modern-day form, and ponder the halachic implications of participating in traditions like trick-or-treating and wearing costumes. While I’m not a rabbi, and recommend consulting one for definitive guidance, this episode uncovers intriguing aspects of Halloween's roots, highlighting potential issues with its idolatrous past and encouraging you to reflect on how these elements might influence your decisions and actions today.

Beyond the Halloween discussion, we delve into the practice of reflection and gratitude, urging you to question and appreciate the benefits of your daily actions. Often, it's easy to adopt habits without understanding their positive impacts. Here, we emphasize the importance of being mindful—taking a step back to understand and appreciate the unseen processes and contributors that enrich our lives. Join us as we explore these thought-provoking topics, and walk away with practical insights that could enrich your journey towards intentionality and gratitude.
