Why isn't Gedalia Kagan's Yahrzeit Exact?

We do not know the exact date of death of Gedalia Kagan. 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 Gedalia Kagan on 4 Iyyar. If you know the exact date of death of Gedalia Kagan, contact us via the contact page.
