Passover 2025

A Beth Shalom Passover

Use this form to sell your chametz or to let us know if you're looking for a seat at a seder—or if you have room to welcome others to your table.



Chametz Sale 2025

The Torah commands us not to own chametz (leavened products) during Passover. Jewish tradition allows us to sell our chametz for the eight days of the festival. This sale is typically accompanied by a donation to the synagogue and a contribution to Maot Hittin, a fund that provides for those in need during Passover.

Please return this form to Rabbi Greenspan by 5:00 PM on Thursday, April 10th, 2025.

Please provide the physical address where the chametz included in this sale is located. This information is required for the contract to be valid.

Example: basement refrigerator, taped kitchen cabinet, top shelf of the pantry.

I, the undersigned, fully empower and authorize Rabbi Jennifer Greenspan to act on my behalf in selling all chametz owned by me, as defined by Torah and Rabbinic law. I also grant Rabbi Greenspan the authority to lease any locations where my chametz may be found. 

Rabbi Greenspan has the full right to conduct the sale and leasing transactions as she deems appropriate and for the duration she considers necessary. Furthermore, I grant Rabbi Greenspan the authority to appoint a substitute to act in her place, with the same full powers to sell and lease as outlined above. This authorization is given in accordance with all Torah and Rabbinic laws and regulations. 


This box must be checked in order to execute this contract. 


By entering my printed name, I acknowledge that electronic signatures carry the same legal effect as handwritten signatures.
