Why isn't Rachel Meierhart's Yahrzeit Exact?

We do not know the exact date of death of Rachel Meierhart. 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 Rachel Meierhart on 16 Elul. If you know the exact date of death of Rachel Meierhart, contact us via the contact page.
