Q: You recently arranged for several
shiva trays to be taken from my friend's
home to several shelters in the area.
I was always taught that you don't
remove food from a shiva house.
A: Taking food from a shiva house
for your benefit might be considered
inappropriate. However, taking food
from the same home for the purpose
of feeding the homeless and needy
should be considered an act of Tzedakah.
