Sale of Chametz

During the festival of Passover, Jewish Law prohibits the consumption or ownership of any chametz (leaven) of any kind.

In order to be certain that all chametz has been removed from our possession, Jewish tradition requires us to sell our remaining chametz to a non-Jew.

This chametz then legally becomes the property of the non-Jew for the duration of Passover and should be set aside in a place in one’s house that will be unused during Passover.

For your convenience, I have included this form, which will enable the sale of chametz in accordance with guidelines of Halacha, Jewish Law; please ensure that you submit this form by Tuesday 23^rd March 2010 (so as to guarantee you are included in the transaction).

Forms can be posted to 14 Larchfield Court, Newton Mearns, Glasgow G77 5BH, faxed to 0141 639 4000, telephoned in on 07917 548386 or emailed to Rabbi Bergson This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
