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 as of Monday 29th March 2010 at midday. This service is offered free of charge. However, any donation to help defray the costs of this communal service would be greatly appreciated. One of the main prohibitions on Pesach is the possession of chametz. Chametz is formed when dough made from flour and water is allowed to sit for a period of 18 minutes. This would include not only bread, but all types of food or drink that are made from flour.
