Shtar Mechira Pesach 5785 / Passover Chametz Sale 2025

I/we hereby relinquish ownership of all chametz and chametz mixtures in my/our possession. I/we authorize Jaime Goldberg or any subsequent agent that she may appoint, to act on my/our behalf for the purpose of selling chametz and chametz mixtures (see definitions below) to a person who is not Jewish for the duration of the Passover Festival. I/we further agree that I/we will keep all the chametz, chametz mixtures, and all cookware, utensils, dishes, and all items used to prepare or consume chametz in a clearly marked and closed or covered area.

This contract also absolves me/us of all chametz of which I/we am unaware. For the purpose of this contract, chametz is defined as, but not limited to bread, cakes, biscuits, crackers, cereal, and all other items derived from these five grains: wheat, barley, oats, spelt, rye; that do not carry a kosher-for-Passover certification. In addition, chametz includes all liquids that have ingredients and/or flavors derived from chametz and/or grain alcohol. Chametz mixtures are defined as any substance, be it edible or not, which contains or is joined to any chametz whatsoever.

There is no fee for selling your chametz, but is customary to include a charitable donation, called Maot Chitin (“wheat coins”) along with the sale of chametz, directed to helping those in need. Beth Israel Center sends the donations we receive in fulfillment of this mitzvah to Second Harvest Foodbank.

If you would like to follow this custom, please type your donation amount in the box below.
