About Us

Who we are?

Shiva Delivery

At Shiva Delivery, we recognize the profound difficulty of losing a loved one and the emotional weight that comes with observing shiva, the traditional Jewish week-long mourning period. During this sacred time, the last thing a family should worry about is the overwhelming task of arranging meals, seating, and other essentials. That’s why I, Jessica Gitlin, founded Shiva Delivery—to provide compassionate, professional support to Jewish families, ensuring every detail is handled with the utmost care and respect.

With over 10 years of experience as a Purchasing Manager, I bring a deep understanding of logistics, vendor coordination, and budget management to Shiva Delivery. My career has been defined by my ability to source high-quality materials and services, negotiate favorable contracts, and streamline processes to ensure seamless operations—skills I now dedicate to supporting families in mourning. Having worked with Las Vegas-based businesses, I’ve developed expertise in managing rapid turnarounds, custom requests, and client-specific needs, all while maintaining exceptional standards. 

This experience allows me to anticipate and address the unique requirements of shiva gatherings, from kosher catering to arranging tables and chairs, with efficiency and sensitivity.

Shiva Delivery is built on the principle of easing your burden during a time of grief. We handle every aspect of your shiva needs—whether it’s a small, intimate gathering or a larger community event—so you can focus on honoring your loved one and finding comfort with family and friends. My team and I are committed to providing discreet, reliable service that respects Jewish traditions and meets your family’s specific preferences.

I understand that this is a time for simplicity, not added stress. With my background in problem-solving, team collaboration, and crisis management, I ensure that every detail is thoughtfully managed, giving you peace of mind when you need it most. Let Shiva Delivery be your trusted partner during this challenging time. Contact us today, and allow us to support you with the care and dignity you deserve.

Handling Multiple Food Deliveries

Well-meaning friends often send food independently, sometimes creating overwhelming abundance or duplication. ShivaDelivery.com offers coordination services that help manage these multiple contributions.

Respecting the Mood and Moment

Our delivery approach acknowledges the solemnity of Shiva. ShivaDelivery.com staff arrive in unmarked vehicles when preferred, use designated entrances, and maintain appropriate demeanor. 

Continuous Support Through All Seven Days

Each day of Shiva brings different challenges and needs. ShivaDelivery.com provides ongoing support throughout the entire period, with check-ins to assess changing requirements. As the week progresses, we adjust delivery content and timing based on remaining food, visitor patterns, and family feedback.
