מכירת חמץ Sale of Chametz

IF YOU OR YOUR CHAMETZ WILL BE IN A TIME ZONE EAST OF NEW YORK DO NOT USE THIS FORM AS THE EARLY SALE HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE. PLEASE CONTACT A MEMBER OF THE RABBINIC STAFF FOR ASSISTANCE

Before Pesach it is a requirement to eliminate all Chametz from our possession. Halacha does allow for Chametz (e.g. liquors, mixtures, etc.) to be sold to a non-Jew when elimination is not an easy option. Arrangements for such sale can be made through our rabbinic staff using the contract below.

Your submission must be made by Tuesday, April 4th, 2023. If you, or your Chametz will be in a timezone east of New York City, please make sure to fill out this form by Sunday, April 2nd.

If it is easier you can print a paper form and scan it/email it to office@thebayit.org.  (click here to download) or fax it to 718-884-3206. Forms should be mailed no later than March 30th to ensure that we receive it before Pesach.

This year, Pesach 5783/2023, the general sale of Chametz will take place by Wednesday, April 5th at 10:00am. 

We never accept personal monetary gifts for this service. We welcome Ma’ot Chittim contributions. All funds go to Pesach needs and support needy people in our local community. You may donate online with a credit card, debit card, or via ACH when you sell your Chametz or by clicking here.

NOTE: Kitniyot (food made from legumes which are not eaten by Ashkenazim on Pesach) need not be sold. Chametz utensils should not be sold so as not to require a new Tevilah. 

IMPORTANT:  After submitting the form, you will receive an email from Rav Steven confirming that your form has been processed. If for any reason you do not get the confirmation email, please contact the office for assistance.
