 Liat1989 2007-02-28 . chapter 1Interesting story. Just a note if you're going to add religion into the story you need to look it up first. Jews don't have Lent. That's a christian thing because it's got to do with Jesus. Ziva wouldn't know what lent is (coming from Israel) let alone be keeping it. Secondly Ziva wouldn't be reading from the Torah. The Torah is a massive thing that's very heavy and contains the five books of Moses, she wouldn't own one. If anything she'd be reading the bible (Old testament). Also sitting Shiva is not like a wake, there's no body to view when you sit Shiva. Also the reason for sitting Shiva are 1). out of respect for the departed. To show that business doesn't go on as normal. 2). To help the soul of the departed in it's transition to the next world. 3). The psychological side of it. It's easier if all the family are together to work through the grief together (During Shiva the Siblings, parents & children of the departed stay together. They don't go out, they cover mirrors and don't listen to music or watch T.V.). |
