SELLING YOUR HAMETZ
On Passover, Jews are forbidden from eating, or even owning hametz; food containing wheat or other grain products that have had an opportunity to ferment or rise. It is customary to sell all hametz owned to a non-Jew through an intermediary. (DEADLINE: Thursday, April 10, 2025, 8 AM)

MA'OT CHITIN
It is also customary to give extra charity at this time of year for Ma’ot Chitin, special funds set up within the Jewish community for whom the process of preparing for and celebrating the holiday would otherwise be difficult. (DEADLINE Thursday, APRIL 10, 2025, 8 AM)

PESACH GUIDE 5785
This Guide, prepared by the Kashrut Subcommittee and approved by the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, explains in detail the laws and customs regarding the dietary restrictions of Passover, the rules that remind us each time we eat of Passover’s messages for us. Some of these guidelines are, frankly, quite technical and even complicated; that is the result of the special stringency of the Passover rules in Jewish law and the complex, new ways in which foods are processed in our time. We hope that this Guide will enable Jews to understand what they may eat on Passover and how to prepare their kitchens for the holiday in ways that are clear and understandable. We do not intend this Guide to replace your rabbi’s guidance on these matters; on the contrary, any question you have about what is written here or what is missing you should address to your rabbi.
