If possible, all chametz – leavened food not acceptable during Pesach – should be destroyed or given away before the holiday begins. Should this be impossible, the chametz may be stored in such a way that we are sure not to use it during the holiday and its actual ownership is transferred to a non-Jew until the holiday ends.
If you are not able to come to the synagogue to personally appoint Richard Kline as your agent for the sale of chametz, you may accomplish that by completing the form below by 9:30am Wednesday April 1st, 2026 to be effective. It is customary for the form to be accompanied by a donation, via check payable to Agudas Israel Congregation, Paypal or Zelle for online donations.
I, the undersigned fully empower and permit Richard D. Kline, Ritual Leader of Agudas Israel Congregation, to act on my behalf and to dispose of all chametz that may be in my possession, wherever it may be, whether at my home or my place of business or elsewhere, in accordance with the requirements of Jewish law. Richard Kline has the full right to sell this chametz and to use it as he deems proper. This transaction will be in effect for the duration of Pesach, which this year begins with the sundown of April 1st, 2026 and runs through April 9th, 2026.
