This week we chat with Peter Shelsky, owner of Brooklyn institution, “Shelsky’s of Brooklyn: Appetizing & Delicatessen.” Peter helps us better understand the Jewish mourning tradition of shiva. We talk about what shiva means. What foods people eat during the process and what it means to him to be able to provide nourishment to people in times of immense grief.
