During Passover, the Torah forbids us from owning any chametz. Chametz refers to food made from grain that has been allowed to rise or ferment.
Common examples of chametz include: Bread, Cakes and pastries, Breakfast cereals, Pasta, Many types of liquor, And more...
Any chametz owned by a Jew during Passover becomes forbidden to eat even after the holiday ends. This applies even if the chametz was locked away or out of sight.
So what can someone do if they want to keep their prized Scotch collection or a freezer full of challah?😋
Jewish law provides a solution known as the Sale of Chametz. Before Passover begins, the chametz is legally sold to a non-Jew. After Passover, the non-Jew sells it back, and the food may once again be enjoyed.
Because this sale involves detailed legal procedures according to Jewish law, it should be arranged through a competent rabbi. The form below authorizes Rabbi Mendy to arrange for sale of your chametz on your behalf.
