Why isn't Gite Mendelsohn's Yahrzeit Exact?

We do not know the exact date of death of Gite Mendelsohn. 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 Gite Mendelsohn on 17 Iyyar. If you know the exact date of death of Gite Mendelsohn, contact us via the contact page.
