This short film was produced in six days for the Jewish Film Challenge, a timed-filmmaking competition similar to the National Film Challenge and the 48 Hour Film Contest. The team was provided with three elements that had to be included in a short film:
- Charity
- Candle-lighting
and the line of dialogue
- 'Is that a Jewish last name?'

Widow's Meal in the News:

The Badger Herald, Madison, WI. 2/27/08:

"...Before Sandel made his appearance, there was a screening of all three finalists in the competition. “Simcha on State” was a Madison original that dealt with the interconnectedness of the good deeds performed by various individuals on State Street. “Pieces of Eight” was a sentimental examination of a relationship in crisis. “Widow’s Meal,” however, a film depicting a widow’s loving preparation of a meal for her lost husband, bested the two other films and won the award for best short."
