Congregation Ohav Sholom

Sale of Chometz

The sale of Chometz is an important law, the observance of which is necessary for the maintenance of kashrus within the Jewish home. Chometz (food or utensils) which is retained over the Passover holidays may not be used after the festival period unless it was previously sold through the procedure prescribed by Jewish law. Our religion provides for the legal sale of Chometz with the Rabbi generally acting as agent.

The Rabbi will be available in his office at the Synagogue to assist Congregants in the sale of their Chometz during the following hours:
Thursday, April 10: 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, April 13: 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 am & 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Wednesday, April 16: 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 to 7:15 p.m.
Thursday, April 17: 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Friday, April 18: Immediately following services

For those who are unable to contact the Rabbi personally, you may mail the form the Shul Office. The form must be received by the Rabbi by 7:00 AM on Friday, April 18. The form is available by clicking here.
