Why isn't Ruth Slowin's Yahrzeit Exact?

We do not know the exact date of death of Ruth Slowin. 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 Ruth Slowin on 2 Heshvan. If you know the exact date of death of Ruth Slowin, contact us via the contact page.
