Halloween has its roots in "all hallow's eve" which is related in
some way to "all saint's day".  It is thus a holiday (as in holy day)
of a religion or belief system quite foreign to judaism.  The fact
that its present observance seem to be unrelated to its origins cannot
alter the fact that it was a religious holiday and therefore should
not be celebrated by jews.
