Shivah refers to a time of mourning over a direct relative (brother,sister, mother, father, daughter, son) Letting one's hair grow is a sign of mourning. The hair that is relevant is facial and hair on the head only for men.
During omer shaving (and haircutting) is generally disallowed (although many many heteyrim (SP?)) to remember the talmidim of Rabbi Akibah (24,000 dies during the omer) and 3 weeks is another similar sign of mourning this time over the Beis Hamikdosh.
I may be wrong on some specifics, feel free to correct if you see fit.
I claim very very little knowledge of Amish culture

Yeah, the closest I've come to learning about Amish culture is seeing a buggy a few times.

Lumanny the Space Jew ScionoftheBlade btw went back and read some old posts, Did Lumanny ever end up reading Pratchett? No. Though i hsave to read the Odyssey, ov yey iz mihr.. Try out Pratchett he's quite entertaining and his social commentaries are amazing. Also I reccomend Pratchett's friend Gaiman. If you like comics you'll know him from "The Sandman" and the first "Book of Magic" (The Book of magic was the inspiration for harry potter) If you don't like comics I recommend Neverwhere and his collaboration with pratchett Good Omens

You might also want to mention that he wrote Stardust (another British film, I believe).

I enjoyed the movie, I just didn't feel it appropriately represented the book.
