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.

Processing is a new podcast from Heritage Radio Network that explores the intersection of food and grief. Each week hosts Bobbie Comforto and Zahra Tangorra are joined by a special guest who shares their personal experience with loss, grief, and heartbreak, and how food factored into their journey. Change and loss are inevitable in all our lives. The relationships that we as humans have surrounding food and loss are universal and relatable across different cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles. It is our individual adaptation to the things we cannot control that makes us unique. Processing will expose and digest these commonalities and differences in each episode.
