The common custom of selling Chametz to a non-Jew for the duration of Pesach is relatively new, though the basis for it is centuries old. Different theories have been advanced to explain why this seeming evasion of a Torah commandment is permitted and even recommended.
Points to Ponder
• What are the sources to selling Chametz just for the duration of Pesach with the intent to buy it back?
• Must the non-Jew take physical possession of the Chametz?
• Is there an obligation to do bedikas Chametz in areas that were, or will be, sold to a non-Jew?
