I see.

Any ideas about what I can get for my friends? I do not want to offend.  [/quote]

If they do not keep a kosher kitchen that sounds fantastic! 
Is there someone you can ask? Some families just wont have specifically non-kosher things like pork, but they don’t keep a whole kosher kitchen.
Most Jewish families we know would be delighted with that.
So many people send sweets; it’s great to get real food in times like this.

I’m Jewish, and I’ve brought a ham and rolls and sides to Christian friends after a death in their family.
I think your effort is lovely.[/quote]

Thank you. As I am reading more on the internet about what is allowed and what is kosher etc, I think a lot of Indian vegetarian cooking will lend itself to meeting at least the dietary requirements (even if it is not meeting the purification and  religious requirements)   I intend to go several times to visit and I think I can then find out what I can make for them and if they are very strict or not.

I agree. I think some real food will be a change for them. I am sure their family and friends are getting them their regular food, so I want to bring them something different. Indian homemade vegetarian food is lighter, less spicy, fresher, more varied, more flavorful and healthier than what the regular Indian restaurants serve.

Anyways, thank you to all who responded. I am also reading a bit more about how a kosher kitchen is run and all I can say is that  it makes so much sense.  All of this is to make people mindful of what they eat and to prevent diseases and cross contamination. [/quote]

Please don't cite secular reasons as justification for keeping kosher. This is actually a little bit belittling. I understand that it may feel like praise or being understanding or supportive, but it undermines that this is a commandment to be holy. It isn't done for reasons like preventing disease or cross contamination. That was never the point.

Thank you for your kindness and respect to this family. May this be returned to you tenfold. [/quote]
