Since it is prohibited to possess chametz on Passover, any chametz left undisposed 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 to the non-Jew on the morning before Passover and also to buy it back the evening after Passover ends.

The form below must be received by Sunday, April 14th.

 

Delegation of Power to Sell Chametz

I fully empower and permit Rabbi Mendel Krinsky to act on my behalf to sell all chametz (leavened products) and mixtures owned by me, as defined by the Torah and Rabbinic Law, at the address(es) listed below, and elsewhere. This power is in conformity with all Torah, Rabbinic and Civil laws.
