Seder Hospitality If you know anyone who needs a Seder to go to or you would like to host someone at your Seder, please call the office at 599-2634 or email office@herjc.org. Thanks! What a wonderful mitzvah! passover Mechirat Hametz “Selling of Leaven” The Biblical injunction reads “no leaven shall be seen or found in your pos ses sion” during Pesach. To accept the literal, surface meaning of this com mand would imply that one must DISPOSE OF all his pastry, flour, sugar, etc. for the full week. Imagine what havoc this would cause the baker, manufacturer, wholesaler or any ordinary household! The Rabbis concluded that the leaven may not BELONG TO YOU during the week of Pesach. Therefore, if it is sold to a non-Jew, the prohibition no longer pertains. This, then, became the prevalent practice, though usually with the stipulation (or tacit understanding) that the non-Jew “sell it back” after Pesach. Since, however, it is much too cumbersome for each Jew to perform such trans actions individually, the next step was to empower one person—usually the Rabbi—to act as agent for the entire community. Mechirat Hametz – Authorization for Sale of Hametz I hereby authorize Rabbi Andrew Warmflash to sell all hametz in my possession.
