Sell Your Chametz & Make a Donation
Want to Sell Your Chametz?
Sell your chametz by 9:00am on Wednesday, April 1
Exodus 12:17, 19
You shall observe the [Feast of] Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot), for on this very day I brought your ranks out of the land of Egypt; you shall observe this day throughout the ages as an institution for all time... 19) No leaven shall be found in your houses for seven days (eight days in the Diaspora)...
What is Chametz?
Chametz is any food product made from "the five grains" - wheat, barley, rye, oats, or spelt - that has come into contact with water and been allowed to ferment and “rise.”
In practice, just about anything made from these grains, other than Passover matzah (which is carefully controlled to avoid leavening) is to be considered chametz. This includes flour (even before it is mixed with water), cake, cookies, pasta, breads, and items that have chametz as an ingredient, like malt.
Why Should I Sell My Chametz?
While it is the practice to purge our homes and living spaces of all chametz, and all are encouraged to do so, our tradition understands the importance of observing mitzvot (good deeds) in ways that do not become a tircha (an undue burden, whether physical, financial, or otherwise). We are therefore welcome to the practice of mechirat chametz (the sale of our chametz) of these materials that have been placed out of sight.
Many choose to designate an agent to sell their chametz on their behalf to ensure ownership of said chametz is properly transferred in accordance with Jewish law. In engaging these practices, we fulfill the commandments not to eat, not to possess, nor to see chametz (lest we be tempted by an otherwise delicious nosh) while balancing careful observance with practical reality.
Fulfill the Custom and Make a Donation
Your generosity helps sustain the vibrant Jewish life we build together at Adath. Every contribution - large or small - supports meaningful moments of connection, worship, learning, and care within our community.
It is customary to make a donation when you are selling chametz. We invite you to consider making a contribution toward one of these funds in honor of Passover.
Kiddush Luncheon Fund
Help sustain one of Adath’s cherished traditions. Your support ensures that after Shabbat services, everyone can gather for food, connection, and community.
Ritual Fund
Support the sacred moments that shape our worship. Donations help provide ritual supplies, holiday observances, and the elements that make our services meaningful and vibrant.
