שטר הרשאה Authorization to Sell Hametz

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

If possible, all hametz – anything made from or containing wheat, barley, spelt, oats and rye that does not carry a valid kosher for Passover label –should be destroyed or given away before the holiday begins.
If this is not possible, there is an alternative: the rabbi arranges a sale of hametz to a gentile. The hametz must be stored in such a way that you are sure not to use it during the holiday and its actual ownership is transferred to a gentile until the holiday ends.

If you would like to authorize Rabbi Spitzer to sell your hametz, please complete this form no later than 4pm on 25 March 2021.

Required

It is customary to give special tzedakah money in the days before Pesach so that the poor may be able to celebrate Passover with joy and plenty. Maimonides writes that one who eats large holiday meals without providing for the poor is not enjoying the “simcha of the mitzvah” but only the “simcha of his stomach.” Rabbi Spitzer’s Discretionary Fund will be making tzedakah disbursements in the days leading up to Passover and the entire community is encouraged to participate. You can make contributions under $100 remotely by visiting https://www.agudatachim.com/apps/donations/. This is especially important at this time of physical distancing and economic uncertainty. Please make a donation! If you'd like to pledge toward Ma'ot Hittin, feel free to write an amount below, and we'll get in touch with you about how you'd like to give.

A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
