TO LIFE!

Jewish mourning rituals place as much emphasis, if not more, on the living as on the deceased. Custom calls for the J>ody to be buried within lwenty-four hours, without [embalming, in a plain wooden jcoffin. For observant Jews, 'mourning proceeds in stages and centers around sitting "shiva” (the seven-day period of mourning that Jews observe after a funeral) in the home. Shiva begins after a ritual healing meal. Survivors cut .their clothing to symbolize the tear that death has produced in life. The entire family receives visitors while sitting in low chairs to symbolize the mourners' awareness that life has changed and the desire to be close to the earth in which the loved one was buried.
