Pesah 5769

Of all the Jewish holidays, Pesah requires the most preparation. The resources on this page have been put together by Kehilat Hadar to help you prepare for Pesah, including a detailed guide to preparing your home or apartment for Pesah, as well as information on how to dispose of your hametz (leavened products) before the holiday, where to obtain kosher for Pesah food, and various pre-holiday practices. Chag kasher v'sameah!

Sale of Hametz - Mechirat Hametz - 2009 - 5769

Since ownership of hametz (bread and other leavened products) is not allowed during Pesah, ideally all hametz in one's possession should be given away or destroyed before the holiday begins. Since this often represents a financial hardship, the practice arose for people to store away their hametz before Pesah and arrange to sell it for the duration of the holiday. Because Jewish law requires various conditions for such a sale to be effective, most Jewish communities offer to arrange the sale of hametz on behalf of their members.
