Why isn't Schloma Hakel's Yahrzeit Exact?

We do not know the exact date of death of Schloma Hakel. According to Jewish tradition, if the exact date of death is not known, the yahrzeit of a person can be observed on any day, as long as it is that same day every year. Since that is the case, we observe the yahrzeit of Schloma Hakel on 19 Adar. If you know the exact date of death of Schloma Hakel, contact us via the contact page.
