SALE OF CHAMETZ

For Middle School Students

 

Though we recommend that you sell your Chametz through your own Rabbi, we suggest that, as a learning experience, you also allow your middle school children to go through the process of selling Chametz for their rooms, their lockers, and their possessions. Please have them fill out the form found here and bring it to school tomorrow along with their own money for tzedakah. You are welcome to use the form for your family's sale of Chametz as well.  Click here to access the Authorization for Sale of Chametz.
