| | Shiv'ah (שבעה Hebrew: "seven") is the name for Judaism's week-long period of grief and mourning for the seven first-degree relatives: father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, or spouse. | | | If prayer services are organised in the house of mourning, it is customary for an adult mourner to lead the prayers when capable (in Orthodox communities, this is obligation and honor is extended only to adult men). | | | If the funeral occurs during a festival, the start of the mourning period awaits the end of the festival. |
