Sale of Chametz Passover 5780/2020

Sale of Chametz Passover 5780/2020

There are four ways we fulfill the Biblical mitzvah of ridding ourselves of chametz before Passover. We clean our homes. We burn any remaining crumbs. We verbally declare that any chametz in our possession is worthless and no longer owned by us. To ensure that there is no question about our intent to remove chametz from our possession, we sell our chametz to non-Jews who may own leavened products on Passover. Canned goods and liquor and other foods too valuable to throw out, may be sold in this way.

You have to do the cleaning, burning and nullification yourselves. We can assist you in the sale of chametz. If you are unable to personally arrange to sell your chametz, please send this form to the synagogue office no later than Monday, April 6 at 9:00 a.m.

I, (on behalf of my entire family), transfer authority to sell all chametz, mixtures and objects containing chametz to Rabbi Aaron Flanzraich of Beth Sholom Synagogue in Toronto, Ontario. As my agent, he should arrange for this sale prior to April 6.

I have placed my chametz and mixtures and objects containing chametz in specially designated storage areas within my home.
