To put this in perspective, we did not trick-or-treat last night.

My wife, from a very Hasidic family, did put out a plastic bowel full of $50 worth of candy on our front porch, turned on the porch light, and had a sign saying “take one!”

The nice kids in the neighborhood left plenty of little Baby Ruths, two of which I had this morning for breakfast with my coffee.

“When in Rome, eat spatgetti,” as my father said.

An eminently sane way to proceed.

And that's a very nice compromise.

Last week we toured eastern Poland and went to Zabłudów, and some parts of Lithuania and found out about Litvak Judaism (didn't even know about that earlier!) and their theological debates. Fascinating -- and I of course see parallels in Christian thought a century /two later
