Welcome to the Shiva House

Welcome to the Shiva House is an interactive virtual play. Join together as a community through tears, laughter, and good memories, as we explore what it means to grieve collectively.



Shiva (/shiv-UH/) is the seven-day Jewish mourning period following the burial of a loved one; this traditionally involves joining the bereaved in their home for recollection and comfort. This hybrid experience utilizes digital performance, a guided walking meditation, and a companion booklet to help you follow along. Welcome, as we memorialize and celebrate the larger-than-life Sam Bloom on the the seventh and final day of Shiva.
