Rabbi Elliott is ready to sell you Chametz!

Contract For Selling Chametz

Prohibition of Chometz

On Pesach it is prohibited to possess chametz (leaven). All chametz that will not be eaten or burned before Pesach must be sold to a non-Jew. All chametz utensils that will not be thoroughly cleaned by then, and are stored away in closets or rooms while preparing for Pesach. The storage area is locked or tape-shut, and leased to a non-Jew at the time of the sale.

8:00a Fast of the Firstborn

On this Pre-Passover Palindrome of a day, join BK at 8:00 a.m. for services and Siyyum, done by 9:00 a.m.

Taanit Bechorim: is a fast day which falls on the day before Passover and commemorates the salvation of the Israelite firstborns during the Plague of the Firstborn. The fast is traditionally avoided by participating in a siyyum celebration at the conclusion of the morning services. We will celebrate the conclusion of a block of Jewish text study. This creates an atmosphere of rejoicing that overrides the requirement to continue the fast.
