People are confused as to how to sit shiva and how to properly pay a shiva call. Because people do not know, and because talking about death makes people nervous and awkward, the shiva house often turns into a festive gathering filled with nervous chatter, instead of the proper house of mourning.
The average number of days in a month is around 30.4. With 24 hours in a day, this is an average of about 730 hours per month.
On average, 170 working hours per month. My assumptions are as follows: No vacation days and 10 federal holidays (2009) 52Wks/yr (365/7) 265 working days per year (52*5) 255 working days (265-10 federal holidays in 2009) 21.25 working days per month (255/12) 4.25 weeks per month (21.25/5) Therefore 21.25*8=170 as well as 4.25*40=170.
