SELLING THE CHAMETZ
Since it is prohibited to possess chametz on Pesach, it must be sold to a non-Jew. This goes for all chametz that will not be eaten or burned before Pesach and all chametz utensils that will not be thoroughly cleaned by then. These are stored away in closets or rooms while preparing for Pesach.
The storage area is locked or taped, and they are leased to the non-Jew at the time of the sale.
Since there are many legal intricacies in this sale, only a competent rabbi should be entrusted with its execution. The rabbi acts as our agent both to sell the chametz to the non-Jew on the morning before Pesach starts and also to buy it back the evening after Pesach ends.
Before Passover one must get rid of all Chametz (Leaven).
Locking your chametz away and giving a Rabbi this form (signed by you) is an easy way of observing one of the most important laws in the Torah.
Please remember that chametz which remains in the possession of a Jew over Pesach may not be used, eaten, bought or sold even after Pesach.
