Goals of Preparation

  • Among other things, keeping kosher for Pesach means that by 12:01 PM on Friday, April 11th, we have burnt our chametz and by 10:54 AM on Saturday, April 12th, we have eaten our last chametz (see below for more details this year regarding Shabbat). We do this by:
    • Cleaning our homes of all chametz. 
    • Donating, throwing out or burning all chametz which would not keep until after Pesach. 
    • Moving all remaining chametz in our homes out of sight until after the holiday. 
    • Making the declaration which nullifies any minute amount of chametz which we could not find or extract. 
  • Selling chametz which will keep until after Pesach. 

For details regarding preparations for the Passover festival when it begins Motzei Shabbat (Saturday night), please see the special section called “When Erev Pesah Falls on Shabbat” in the 5785 Pesach Guide. There are two options outlined in the guide. 

Find the Pesach Guide here.

Sell your chametz here!  Due to when Pesach starts this year, our form will close on Wednesday, April 9th at 4pm. Please plan ahead!
