Form for sale of Chametz (leaven)

It is now too late to use this form this year.
Sale of Chametz forms are currently being printed.

You may not ever have done this or think it particularly important, but it is obligatory on every Jew to dispose of the leaven (Chametz) in their household the day before Pesach. Since we wish to get rid of our chametz and since we often have some chametz which is of considerable value (like Rabbi Zvi’s malt whisky collection) it is customary to sell the chametz to a non-Jew. This must be a proper sale in Jewish and English law. The form which follows fulfils this requirement. After Pesach the Rabbi or his agent will buy the chametz back.

Please complete the form and submit by Sunday night 25 March 2018. Forms sent later than this may not be included in Rabbi Zvi's sale agreement. If you prefer a paper form, you can download one in word or pdf form.

Please note that the times on this form are correct for the Reading UK area (Swindon to Slough). If you do not live in this area, please sell your chametz through your local rabbi.

Power of Attorney for the Sale of Chametz

I, the undersigned, fully empower and authorise Rabbi Zvi Solomons to act in my place and stead and, on my behalf, to sell any chametz possessed by me (knowingly or unknowingly) up to and including Friday 30 March 2018 at 12:04am BST, including any food in respect of which there is a doubt or possibility that it might contain chametz, and all kinds of chametz mixtures, and to lease all places wherein the chametz owned by me is stored and found.

Rabbi Zvi Solomons has full authority to sell or lease all chametz and all places wherein the chametz owned by me is found, by any transaction in any manner which he deems fit and proper, and for such time as he believes necessary, in accordance with the detailed terms and conditions set out in the agreed contract or sale which he will draw up. This authorization is made a part of that contract.

I also give Rabbi Zvi Solomons power and authority to appoint any proxy he deems fit in his place, with full power to sell or lease as provided herein.

The above-given powers are to be exercized in conformity with all Torah and Rabbinical regulations and laws, and also in accordance with the laws of the country.
