The Torah prohibits Jews from owning chametz during Pesach. For those who wish to adhere to this tradition, Adat Shalom will be happy to arrange for the contractual (virtual) sale of your chametz to a non-Jew for the duration of the holiday. According to this contract, your ownership of your chametz will end at 9am on 14 Nisan (April 1) and will be restored at 8:50pm on 22 Nisan (April 9).

You may arrange to sell your chametz from March 16 through 9am on the morning of Friday, April 1.

To do so, complete the form below, or email Sarah Hirsch (shirsch@adatshalom.org) with your name and address to be added to the contract. Call Sarah at 248-851-5100 with any questions.

It is customary, but not necessary, to make a contribution to the synagogue for requesting that we act as the agent for the sale of your chametz. If you wish to do so, we suggest a $20 donation to Adat Shalom’s Minyan Breakfast Fund.
