What to Bring or Send

It is very common for individuals making a shiva call, and interested in supporting a family in mourning, to send or bring a food item to the shiva house. Such items include baked goods, fruit, dried fruit and nuts or chocolate. As an alternative to food, a donation can be made in memory of the deceased to a designated temple, charity or organization. 

If you would like to bring or send something to a friend or family member in mourning, take a look at our trusted providers directory in the Support and Assistance Center. These providers  can ship or deliver customary and traditional items, such as fruit, nuts, baked goods and more, directly to the shiva house.
