Mechirat Chametz, the Selling of Chametz
To avoid owning chametz/ leavened food or having chametz in your possession during Passover, tradition provides
us with a process called mechirat chametz. Originally, this process was devised for those Jews in the food or liquor
business with substantial quantities of chametz. To avoid serious financial loss, mechirat chametz was devised to allow
the sale of chametz to a non-Jew. It is an example of how Jewish law can respond to a problem created by its own
legal system.
While the form of the sale has changed over time, today it involves the real sale of chametz to a non-Jew before
Passover. It is a real sale in the sense that the non-Jew could pay the purchase price and keep the chametz. Also,
during Passover, the non-Jew has the right to come and eat as much of the chametz as she/he wants. After Passover,
the non-Jew resells the chametz to the Jew.
Because it is complicated, the sale is usually done through a rabbi who acts as your agent in the transaction. The rabbi
needs an authorization from you, which should be in writing, but if necessary can be by phone. Only food is sold, not
pots or dishes.
Please return this form to the Congregation Har Shalom office before Wednesday, April 13, so that Rabbi
Shoshana Leis has sufficient time to make the transaction.
I, THE UNDERSIGNED, EMPOWER AND PERMIT Rabbi Shoshana Leis to act in my place and stead, as my agent, to sell
all chametz (Leaven), and all products containing even the smallest percentage of chametz possessed by me as defined
by the Torah and Rabbinic law, and to lease all designated places wherein the above mentioned products may be found
especially in the premises located at:
Rabbi Shoshana Leis has the full right as my agent to sell or appoint an agent on her behalf to sell and to lease the above
by such transactions as she deems fit and proper for such time as he chooses. The authority, which is hereby given, is
meant to be in conformity with the Torah and Rabbinic laws and regulations, and also be in acceptance with the law of the
State of Colorado and of the United States of America.
To this I do hereby affix my signature on this (date) _______ day of (month) ___________________________, 20____.
