Why isn't Jona Mandelkorn's Yahrzeit Exact?

We do not know the exact date of death of Jona Mandelkorn. 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 Jona Mandelkorn on 5 Heshvan. If you know the exact date of death of Jona Mandelkorn, contact us via the contact page.
