‫בס״ד‬ Jewish Law requires that we do not possess any chamets for the duration of Pesach. In earlier times it was relatively straightforward to ensure that all chamets was either eaten or disposed of before Pesach. Today this may not be possible. The simple solution to this problem is to put away in a secure place any chamets that cannot be consumed before Pesach. The Rabbi is appointed as an agent to sell this chamets on your behalf. Whilst he would plan to buy the chamets back after Pesach, this is in no way a condition of the sale. In completing the form below you are authorising Rabbi Chanan Atlas to sell your chamets.
