A couple of days ago, on November 9, I picked up a photo of my great-great-grandparents' tombstone which was sitting on my desk. They are buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery in Queens. And I saw that my great-great-grandmother had died on that exact date, November 9, in 1934.
Maybe she was calling to me?
November 9, 1934 on the Hebrew calendar was 2 Kislev 5695. So my great-great-grandmother's yahrzeit (date of commemoration of her death) is 2 Kislev.
On the 2023 secular calendar, 2 Kislev will fall on November 15.
So even though I blew it by not posting this on November 9, I'm ahead of schedule for the yahrzeit.
And thank you to Steve Morse for the handy calendar conversion tool.
