But I do know that every year Shuls and other Jewish building are vandalized on Haloween and Mischief Night. (It just happened again this year in Brooklyn ,NY. Eggs are thrown at people with a kipah on. Jewish cemetaries are desecrated. Also Haloween includes other unclean aspects, such as socery, witchcraft and necromancy, all forbidden by the Torah. I believe that a holy person should look down upon Haloween, and take no part of it. This includes non-jews, for they also suffer uneeded damage caused by vandals.
