Why isn't Abel Zahn's Yahrzeit Exact?

We do not know the exact date of death of Abel Zahn. 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 Abel Zahn on 19 Adar. If you know the exact date of death of Abel Zahn, contact us via the contact page.
