Upon hearing of the death of Peter Yarrow, third member of the iconic folk trio, Peter Paul & Mary, I sent my condolences to the sole survivor of the group, NoelPaul Stookey. He replied that he was “sitting shiva” at Peter’s apartment with Peter’s friends and family. Being unfamiliar with the term “sitting shiva,” I found out it is a Jewish mourning tradition that takes place after the burial of a loved one, typically lasting seven days. The word shiva comes from the Hebrew word for “seven,” symbolizing the week-long period of mourning and focusing on the memories and accomplishments of the person who has passed.
