Passover 2021-5781
Authorization to Sell Hametz 5781
The deadline to sell hametz is 11:59 PM on Thursday, March 26, 2021
Please complete our new online form on ShulCloud, allowing Rabbi Abe Friedman 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 BZBI; to the charity of your choice; or preferably, to the Passover League in exchange for selling your hametz.
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 home-bound Jews and distributes boxes of Passover food to hospitalized Jewish veterans. Choose the charity you wish to support when you complete the online form.
