About this directory
When mourners return from the cemetery, tradition calls for the seudat havraah, a meal of consolation prepared by others, so that grief is met first with care rather than with tasks. Through the days of shiva that follow, the community comes to comfort the mourners, and food is quietly part of how that comfort is carried.
A shiva caterer understands kashrus, the customary foods of the meal of consolation such as eggs and round breads, and the practical need to feed a home full of visitors with grace. These caterers serve Jewish families during shiva.
