Shiva Meals in Toronto

Shiva, meaning “seven” is the seven-day period of mourning after a relative passes. This Jewish tradition takes place in a family home, where mourning and praying are done for seven days following the burial. Guests are welcomed to the home to spend time with the family and to offer their condolences. It is a tradition for family and guests to bring food to a Shiva so that the stress is taken off of the mourners. Meals you can bring to a Shiva include salads, baked goods, chicken, fish, beef, and other nutritious kosher dishes. 

There is usually a food schedule made by the family or someone helping to coordinate the Shiva. Always check with them before organizing your offering. At Ely’s Fine Foods, you can order a Shiva meal from us that is going to taste delicious and can be delivered directly to the mourner’s home. 

When visiting a family during Shiva, bringing food is a gesture that is greatly appreciated. However, every family has different preferences and dietary needs. Ordering a Shiva meal from a caterer allows you to choose from a variety of options that suit the needs of the family you’re ordering for.
