However, I also learned that some parents supply him with the organic or sugarless candy that are to given to their children. I never tried that tactic, deciding that some candy from the Rabbi was acceptable. My children have grown up without any serious candy cravings and they happily give out treats to the children who come around on Halloween. Oh, by the way, I've tried giving out granola bars or other healthier options than candy, but they're usually rejected. This year, I bought party-favor-size containers of Play-Doh. Let's see if they'd pass the trick-or-treat test. When we moved into our present community (some 18 years ago), we learned that the Rabbi was the most prominent Candy Man in the shul.

How can I convince the gabbai (who is my husband's boss effectively) not to give the kids too much candy. Sigh. My husband is a rabbi, which makes my two girls the most visible children in the shul.
