Hi Hannah! I like halloween and was never afraid of it. However, I agree about our culture but I am apt to blame TV, social media, and Hollywood!! There is nothing you can't get on social media! I do agree that some kids are more sensitive than others and some are even a little mentally off kilter. Were you frightened of Halloween? I know you were a sensitive little girl. One of my friend's husband and I communicate a lot about the world. He just sent me an awful note (he tends to be liberal) where he had read from some "noted" author (I forget the name) that Israel began the 10/7 war because they bombed their own people! I don't even know how to get back to him on that! But I will! Have you ever heard of such a thing?
As always, love hearing from you! Keep up the good work. Martie
I enjoyed Halloween as a child, but witches and ghosts were as far-out as anyone got back then. I object to the bloody body costumes and masks, the stitched-together, the headless, the vampires with blood dripping down their faces and clothes, the zombies with hatchets, and the food resembling cut-off fingers and bloody eyeballs. I think that these images, so similar to what actually was done to real people in Israel on October 7, 2023, are related. Our generation was appalled by those images, but the numbers of young adults calling for death to all Jews? I think many of them have been desensitized and could not even recognize that the go-pro videos taken by the perpetrators of Oct. 7 were real, and that those were real babies and children and homes, because they have been pretending with all this gore since they were practically babies themselves.
I totally agree with you. Thank G-d for nice and fun Purim costumes.
I totally agree!
