Sell Your Chametz Online

Since it is prohibited to possess chametz on Passover, any chametz left un-disposed must be sold to a non-Jew.

All such chametz, as well as all chametz utensils that were not thoroughly cleaned, should be stored away. The storage area should be locked or taped shut for the duration of the holiday.

Since there are many legal intricacies involved in this sale, a rabbi acts as our agent both to sell the chametz before Passover and also to buy it back the evening after Passover ends. This year, because the day before Passover is Shabbat, the sale is executed one day earlier, Friday, April 18.

The following form can be copied, modified, filled out, printed and submitted to your local rabbi by early morning of April 18, 2008, local time. If you are unable to submit your form to a rabbi in person, you may submit your form online.
