Sale of Chametz

  • HOW TO SELL YOUR CHAMETZ

  • Since we can’t own chametz on Passover, we have three options: Eat it, destroy it or sell it to a non-Jew. Over the years, the practice arose to sell before Passover all chametz (as well as all chametz utensils which will not be thoroughly cleaned by then) -and then buy it back as soon as the holiday is over.

    This is not a simple transaction, since the  sale must be legally binding according to both Jewish and civil law. That is why we empower a competent rabbi to do it for us. The rabbi acts as our agent to sell the chametz to the non-Jew before Passover starts and to buy it back the evening after Passover. In the meantime, while preparing for Passover, you’ll need to store away your chametz and the utensils that are used with them. Lock or tape shut these closets or rooms-they are leased to the non-Jew at the time of the sale.

     

    All forms must be returned on or before Thursday, April 10th at 12:00 pm.
