Sheba was born as Chaim Scheiber in 1908 in Frasin, near Gurahumora, Bukovina, then in Austria-Hungary, to the well known Scheiber Hasidic family, a descendant of the Hasidic house of Roujin. He was enrolled as a young child in a school for religious studies only. He transferred from there directly to the eighth grade in a secular school, which he successfully completed. Influenced by his grandfather, he began medical studies in Chernovitch and completed such studies in Vienna in December 1932.
