Since it is prohibited to possess chametz on Pesach, any chametz left undisposed of must be sold to a non-Jew. [Any chametz remaining in the possession of a Jew during Pesach may not be used, eaten, bought or sold even after Pesach.]To download a printable PDF form, click here.
Therefore, all chametz that will not be eaten or burned before Pesach and all chametz utensils that will not be thoroughly cleaned by then should be stored away.
The storage area should be locked or taped shut to be leased to the non-Jew at the time of the chametz sale.
Since there are many legal intricacies in this sale, only a competent rabbi should be entrusted with its execution. The rabbi acts as our agent both to sell the chametz to the non-Jew on the morning before Pesach starts and also to buy it back the evening after Pesach ends.
The following form can be copied, filled out, printed and submitted to Rabbi Posner, by Thursday morning, April 10, 2014, Chicago time. If you are unable to submit your form to the Rabbi in person, you may submit your form online or via fax by Thursday morning, April 10, 2014.
Jewish law requires that your chametz be sold by the specified deadline for the location in which the owner will be on the day before Passover. If you will be in a location other than Skokie, please contact us for detailed instructions.
