It is traditional not only to put your leavened products out of sight during Passover, but also to sell them through a Rabbi to a non-Jew. This is done in order to fulfill the commandment of not owning any Chametz and to allow you to enjoy your chometz items after Pesach is done.*
Please submit the signed form by Sunday, April 21, 2024, 8:00 PM. You need not finish cleaning by the time you mail your form.
If you will be outside of the Chicago time zone I can still help you with selling your chometz. We have an additional sale the night before to help those out of the country.
*Note: Ideally, one should meet with a rabbi in person to arrange for the sale of one's chometz. You can come by Chabad during any day to sign the form.
For those that cannot meet a Rabbi in person, we offer the option of selling your chometz online with this form.
You can also print this form and either fax to (773) 743-3446, email to: [email protected] or mail to: Chabad East Lakeview - 615 W Wellington Ave Chicago IL, 60657

I (We) hereby authorize Rabbi Dovid Kotlarsky to sell all Chametz that may be in our possession wherever it may be: at home, at my (our) place of business, or elsewhere, in accordance with the requirements of Jewish law as incorporated in the special contract for the sale of Chametz.
