Question:

What are the birthdates and yahrtzeits of our Patriarchs and Matriarchs? And do we know the years they were born and died?

Answer:

We do not know exact birthdates and yahrtzeits for all of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, but here is the information I've found:

(The year numbers referenced are counted from creation. See Years for more on this topic, as well as how to convert these years into Common Era years.)

Abraham was born in the year 1948 and passed away in 2123.

Sarah was born in the year 1958 and passed away in 2084.

Isaac was born on the 15th of Nissan in the year 2048 and passed away in 2228.

Rebecca was born on Yom Kippur in the year 2084 and passed away in 2205.

Jacob was born in the year 2108 and passed away in 2255.

Rachel was born approximately in the year 2166, and passed away on the 11th of Cheshvan in 2208.

I have not found any information about the dates or years of Leah's birth and passing.

Best wishes,

Rabbi Baruch S. Davidson
