Why isn't Jakob Schmirgon's Yahrzeit Exact?

We do not know the exact date of death of Jakob Schmirgon. 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 Jakob Schmirgon on 14 Nisan. If you know the exact date of death of Jakob Schmirgon, contact us via the contact page.
