UNDERSTANDING THE TRADITION OF SHIVA The term Shiva is derived from a Hebrew word meaning "seven". It refers to the seven day period of mourning which takes place following a burial. During this period of time, family members suspend all worldly activities, and devote full attention to remembering and mourning the deceased. This is what is called "sitting Shiva".
