SALE OF CHAMETZ IN
PREPARATION FOR PASSOVER
We are commanded to remove all Chametz, "leaven" from our homes and possessions for the duration of the celebration of Passover. That is the reason why we painstakingly clean our homes prior to the holiday and why we search for crumbs of Chametz on the eve of the holiday with a candle and a feather. On the following morning, preceding Passover, we burn this leave, thus symbolically proclaiming our completion of an action intended to physically remove all Chametz from our possession.
Religious school families should check their emails for links to online resources that contain links to the Zoom session. For others wanting to join, please livestream the seders here.
