But in parcel delivery
Is it permissible to send a meal to a mourner in our time? There is plenty and it doesn’t seem to be more of a “greeting of peace” than any other greeting. It is simply unnatural not to send one.
Another question – the Mab brings from the Sach that the mourner should not send “kinds of treats.” Is this agreed upon by the poskim? Are sweets in this case (in our time it is not so special for some kind of treat, although people still find comfort in eating them)?

I meant that ”sending portions to neighbors” is a necessary action (caused by abundance).
For example, I saw in the response to Malchiel's words that a bereaved person is permitted to send portions to his rabbi because it is “paying off a debt”. Also in relation to other binding norms, it can be said that they define the “m as “paying off a debt”. Just as there is an obligation for the rabbi, there is an obligation for the friend
What does the rabbi think?
It is possible. I don't see a sharp line here. Each case is unique, and even in a specific case there is not necessarily a clear-cut answer. It is clear that if there is doubt, one can be lenient, since at most it is a question of a rabbinical prohibition and against it there is a rabbinical mitzvah.
Thank you very much.
