Sell Your Chometz! - Chabad Lubavitch of Northern Virginia

Since it is prohibited to possess chometz on Pesach, any chometz left undisposed
must be sold to a non-Jew. [Any chometz remaining in the possession of a Jew during
Pesach may not be used, eaten, bought or sold even after Pesach.]

Therefore, all chometz that will not be eaten or burned before Pesach and all chometz
utensils that will not be thoroughly cleaned by then should be stored away.

The storage area should be locked or taped shut to be leased to the non-Jew at the
time of the chometz sale.

Since there are many legal intricacies in this sale, only a competent rabbi should be
entrusted with its execution. The rabbi acts as our agent both to sell the chometz to
the non-Jew on the morning before Pesach starts and also to buy it back the evening
after Pesach ends.
