Since ownership of chametz (bread and other leavened products) is not allowed during Pesach, ideally all chametz in one's possession would be given away or destroyed before the holiday begins. Since this often represents a financial hardship, the practice arose for people to store away their chametz before Pesah and arrange to sell it for the duration of the holiday. By filling out the form linked below, you are appointing Rabbi Nagelberg to arrange the sale on your behalf.
Please Note: This year, Passover 5785/2025, the general sale of chametz will take place by Friday, April 11 at 10:00 AM. Chametz that will be used after the sale takes effect, including on Friday and Shabbat are not covered by this sale. All chametz not included in the sale should be eaten before 10:43 AM on Saturday, April 12. Whatever is not eaten must be removed from the home by 11:50 AM on Shabbat morning, April 12.

What are Maot Hittim?
Jews preparing to celebrate Pesach have always been concerned that everyone in the Jewish community be able to do so. Maot Hittim is the special fund used to buy Passover supplies for those who need them, so that no one need be deprived of any supplies or be unable to prepare a Seder because of economic difficulty. To participate in this important mitzvah, you can make a contribution to the Rabbi's Discretionary Fund (marked “Maot Hittim”).
Please note: No contribution is necessary to authorize the rabbi to sell your chametz.

In the Haggadah, we declare, “All who are hungry, come and eat; all who are needy come and celebrate Passover?” Opening our homes to Jews in need includes those who would otherwise be alone.
BSO’s “SederMatch” is the answer. Maybe you are looking for a place to share Seder or maybe you have a little extra room at your Seder table this year. Or maybe you can make some room? Many wonderful friendships have been made at Seder and we will make the right match for you.
Fill out the form linked to the button below if you would like to be hosted or if you would welcome a guest to your Seder.
