Ah, Halloween. The one* time of year when it’s acceptable to leave your apartment in a full-blown costume, carve shapes into large squashes, and eat candy for dinner (just me?). This past weekend social media was abuzz with some very creative costumes, and I couldn’t help notice that plenty had a Jewish-y theme. Let’s take a walk down costume lane, shall we?
1. Ruth Vader Ginsburg: Because even our favorite Jewish supreme court justice has a dark side.
Thank you to whoever added Ruth Vader Ginsburg to the costume database. I got to wear a cape and carry a light saber and fight for justice. pic.twitter.com/EKIw7CBPF4

2. All the Broad Cities: Taking on the dynamic duo (and their friends) was a popular trend this year.
Cozy Season with Hey Alma. As the days get shorter, Hey Alma is where you can curl up with Jewish culture that's funny, honest, and open to everyone.
3. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: Rachel Bloom shared her favorite odes to one of the Jewiest shows on TV.
4. Wonder Woman: Now that Gal Godot plays Wonder Woman, we can officially claim her as Jewish.
5. Bagel and Lox: Bae-gols.
6. Drake: Hotline bling. Get it??

7. Jared & Ivanka: Barack Obama’s former speechwriter, Jon Favreau, took on Jared Kushner’s epic “war zone” look, while his wife played the part of handcuffed Ivanka.

8. Fran Fine: Everyone’s favorite Jewish nanny/style icon.
9. Grace Adler & Karen Walker: Will & Grace is back, and in drag.
*Except we Jews also get Purim in the spring. See you there.
