Sell Your Chametz

One way to avoid the prohibition of owning chametz on Pesach is to sell it to a non-Jew. It is customary to appoint the Rabbi as one’s agent to transact this sale. You may use this form to appoint Rabbi Jack Hartstein as your agent. Please fill out the form below or at MJE’S website (and MJE will get it to the rabbis. Please sure it reaches the MJE office by Friday, MARCH 27 at NOON.

If by Thursday you do not receive confirmation of our receipt of this form, please email debraharris@jewishexperience.org

The sale of chametz is a legal transaction in which the buyer becomes the full owner of the chametz. For the sale to be considered a serious transaction, the buyer must be able to have access to his goods. If you are going away for Pesach, please indicate where your keys can be found (e.g., doorman, super) in the form.
