It is traditional not only to put your leavened products out of sight during Passover, but also to sell them through a Rabbi to a non-Jew. This is done in order to fulfill the commandment of not owning any Chametz and to allow you to enjoy your chometz items after Pesach is done.*
Please submit the signed form by Thursday, April 10, 2025, 8:00 PM. You need not finish cleaning by the time you mail your form.
If you will be outside of the Chicago time zone I can still help you with selling your chometz. We have an additional sale the night before to help those out of the country (make sure to fill out this form before Thursday morning).
*Note: Ideally, one should meet with a rabbi in person to arrange for the sale of one's chometz. You can come by Chabad during any day to sign the form.
For those that cannot meet a Rabbi in person, we offer the option of selling your chometz online with this form.
You can also print this form and either fax to (773) 743-3446, email to: [email protected] or mail to: Chabad East Lakeview - 615 W Wellington Ave Chicago IL, 60657

I (We) hereby authorize Rabbi Dovid Kotlarsky to sell all Chametz that may be in our possession wherever it may be: at home, at my (our) place of business, or elsewhere, in accordance with the requirements of Jewish law as incorporated in the special contract for the sale of Chametz.
