What is Sitting Shiva?

Shiva is the Jewish period of mourning observed the first week after the funeral
of a parent, spouse, sibling, or child.

On the first day of sitting shiva, it is customary for mourners not to eat their own food. The first meal, which is called the “meal of  condolence”, is usually supplied by neighbors and friends to express their desire to provide consolation. Another, deeper psychological reason lies behind this gesture. It is recognized that the mourners have just experienced the trauma of burying their loved one  and eating signifies, “You must go on. You must affirm life and live.” It is a mitzvah for visitors to send prepared food to  mourners, to assure there is plenty to eat as observant mourners may not cook or prepare food using heat. If the family observes traditional Jewish dietary laws only kosher foods should be sent. When family, friends and the Jewish Community help by providing for the needs of  mourners while they are sitting shiva, an atmosphere of love, caring and kindness is created.
