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. Due to public health concerns, the appointment of the Rabbi will not take place in person. By filling out this form you agree to appoint Rabbi Yosie Levine or his designee as your agent of sale. If you have any questions, please email leah@jewishexperience.org

To enact a kinyan, an acquisition, it is best to turn to another person in your home and lift up an object, like a pen, that belongs to them. If this is not possible, the sale is still valid. Please fill out the form below by Friday April 19th at NOON.

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.

POWER OF ATTORNEY:  I, the undersigned, fully empower and permit Rabbi Yosie Levine or his designee to act in my place and stead and on my behalf to sell all chametz possessed by me knowingly or unknowingly, as defined by Torah and Rabbinic law, and to lease all places in which chametz owned by me may be found, especially at the "Address of Residence."
