Chametz - Passover Montreal

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

Therefore, all chametz that will not be eaten or burned before Pesach and all chametz 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 chametz 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 chametz to the non-Jew on the morning before Pesach starts and also to buy it back the evening after Pesach ends.

Eating Matzah on the Seder night is the soul of Passover. It is the conduit for the Al-mighty’s blessings for the year to come. It is vital that this be done right. Eat your Shmurah Matzah on April 15 after 8:12 pm, and April 16 after 8:29 PM

Passover is celebrated by Jews every year, commemorating the anniversary of our miraculous Exodus from Egyptian slavery, as told in the Bible.

The Seder is the traditional Passover meal that includes reading, drinking 4 cups of wine, telling stories, eating special foods, singing, and other Passover traditions.

The Passover Montreal campaign is a project of Chabad Lubavitch Youth Organization representing Chabad institutions throughout the province of Quebec. At Chabad, we live the Jewish ethos that "all Jews are equal and are responsible for one another" inspired by the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneersohn
