Mekhirat Hametz - Selling of Hametz

If one cannot completely remove all hametz from the home during Passover, Jewish law provides for the conditional sale of hametz to a non-Jew during Passover. Upon the conclusion of Passover, the hametz reverts to its original owner.

Please submit this form by Thursday, April 10, to sell your hametz. Hametz will revert to its original owner at the conclusion of Passover on Sunday evening, April 20.

Please contact Allison at allison@bnaiisraelcong.org with any questions.

Mekhirat Hametz

I hereby authorize Rabbi Mitchell Berkowitz as my agent to sell all hametz in my possession for the duration of Passover 5785.

It is customary to make a contribution for ma’ot hittin, providing food for the needy, when selling hametz. Contributions may be made below, or if you prefer to send a check, it should be made to B’nai Israel Congregation Tzedakah and Welfare Fund. Please note that donations for ma'ot hittin are treated as anonymous donations made in conjunction with the sale of hametz and will only be acknowledged with a confirmation email.

Please note that if you make a donation by check, it is still necessary to submit this form.
