KLBD Sale Of Chametz Online Form
It is most important that all chametz is disposed of or sold before Passover. Although the non-Jew usually sells it back after Passover, this is an entirely valid and legal sale, both in Jewish and English Law. The chametz to be sold should be securely locked away in a room or cupboard, which will not be used over Pesach. It is customary to empower the local rabbi to sell one's chametz and to sign the rabbi's contract.
With this in mind the United Synagogue wish to offer to sell your chametz by appointing Rabbi J Conway to act as your agent and sell all chametz that will be in your possession (excluding that specifically put aside for consumption on Friday and Shabbat prior to 10.39am)
This service is offered free of charge. However, any donation to help defray the costs of this communal service would be greatly appreciated.
I, the undersigned, thereby appoint Rabbi J. Conway to act as my agent and sell all Chametz that will be in my possession as of Friday 18th April 2008 at 11.50am
I hereby authorize him to act in my stead, and empower him to do all that is required to make such a sale valid in order that I conform to all the Halachic requirements and restrictions regarding the possession of chametz over Pesach. I hereby also make any Agreement of Sale (shetar mechirah) that he may use for this purpose, part of this authorization.
