James asked: My girlfriend is Jewish and I’m not. She’s 18 and I’m six years older.

I have gotten many emails from people who ask me, “Whats the use of the denominations and do they really tell about a person’s observance or world view”?

Dear Ethers, Yes. I am going to do it. I am going to write about Halloween. I know, I know. You’ve been smothered with it all day—or will be soon. Masks on people a little too old to be dressed up, kids whacked out on sugar, doorways setting off a sensor when you pass awakening a [...]

I got to interview A.J. Jacobs for MyJewishLearning. I was excited and nervous and trepidatious -- I liked The Year of Living Biblically a lot, although there were more than a few parts that made me wince, and I loved the hell out of his just-released The Guinea Pig Diaries.

Could it be argued that this is unconstitutional, given the fact that "blue laws" are typically in place due to someone’s religious preference and the fact that the sale of cars is a pretty secular activity?
