Question
My husband passed away on April 7,2023 He was buried on April 9,2023 can I hold his unveiling on 4/7/2024?
Answer
Hello,
The date is determined by the date of death, but it is calculated according to the Hebrew calendar.
According to my research, April 7, 2023, was the 16th of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar, which is the second day of Passover.
This year, that date falls on 24/4/2024. However, note that this is not a fixed date, and each year it will fall on a different Gregorian date.
This is the day of his passing, and it is the time to say Kaddish for him.
The visit to the grave is not done during the festival, so it should be moved to the eve of the festival - 22/4 or after it.
