ell Your Chametz Online
In addition to not eating chametz (leavened foods) on Pesach, it is also a Mitzva not to own any. Any chametz left undisposed must therefore be sold to a non-Jew. [Any chametz remaining in the possession of a Jew during Pesach may not be used, eaten, bought or sold even after Pesach.]
Therefore, all chametz that will not be eaten or burned before Pesach and all chametz utensils that will not be thoroughly cleaned by then should be stored away.
The storage area should be locked or taped shut to be leased to the non-Jew at the time of the chametz sale.
Since there are many legal intricacies in this sale, only a competent Rabbi should be entrusted with its execution. The Rabbi acts as our agent both to sell the chametz to the non-Jew on the morning before Pesach starts and also to buy it back the evening after Pesach ends.
(Please note: There is no need to wait until Chometz is cleaned/put away before submitting form, since actual sale of Chometz does not occur until Friday, April 11)
The following form can be submitted to one of the Rabbis no later than Thursday, April 10. If you are unable to submit your form to a Rabbi in person, you may submit your form online.
