Shiva is a time for mourners to express their sorrow and offer comfort upon the passing of a loved one. After the funeral, mourners "sit" shiva at the house of the deceased for a period of seven days. During that time, visitors often provide food to the bereaved to free them from cooking.
Kazansky's offers a wide variety of traditional foods for the seven days of shiva, including cold cut platters and hot homemade meals listed here.
