Replace the ???? in your statement with
menu.wk_begin_dt > SYSDATE - 7
You can perform date arithmetic directly by adding or subtracting from a date in days.
Note that the ADD_MONTHS function is available to deal with the situation where the number of days might be variable (e.g. if you need to add 1 year to a date, and don't want to worry about calculating for leap years explicitly).
