A Non-Jewish Celebration
Question
Is it permitted to celebrate a non-Jewish holiday? I’m asking because I don’t celebrate it because I believe in their ideas; I celebrate just because it’s fun and funny. For example, Halloween or their New Year—would it be permitted to go out with friends on those days (or really, nights)?
Answer
In my opinion, there is no objection to celebrating in a non-religious context.
