Dec 1, 2016 - More. Copy link to Tweet; Embed Tweet. LIVE on #Periscope : Rav Moshe Aharon Poleyeff 50th Yahrtzeit Azkara at RIETS

December 1, 2016 was 1 Kislev, hence "tonight" would be 2 Kislev 5777.

Year 5777 minus 50 = year 5727; that would have been Nov. 15, 1966

Yet YU's archives say "1888-1967"

YU archive of Hesped

A different YU/REITS archive, that of the Hesped, is dated Dec. 5, 1966

Looks like 1966 is correct

CJH.org says 1888-1966

CJH.org = American Jewish Historical Society Center for Jewish History
