Passover 2020-5780
Authorization to Sell Hametz 5780
The deadline to sell hametz is 8:00 AM on Wednesday, April 8, 2020.
You can fill out our online form or visit the Temple Office allowing Rabbi Annie Lewis to sell all of your hametz on your behalf. A donation to tzedakah is required to make this a valid transaction. It is customary to make a donation to the Passover League in exchange for selling your hametz. This can be done through the Temple office or online. The Passover League distributes grants throughout the Philadelphia region to groups that provide Seders to individuals who would otherwise not have the resources or ability to attend. The Passover League also provides Passover food for homebound Jews and distributes boxes of Passover food to hospitalized Jewish veterans.
