Ottawa Torah Institute

Our aim is to provide you with a halachically sophisticated (and convenient!) way to confidently sell your chametz products online. At a minimum donation of $20, you can, at the same time, help support our two Torah schools (we will only be able to issue tax receipts for the amount of donations above $20 and only for Canadian tax purposes).

Notes:

This service is being made available only to people lacking personal access to a local rabbi who can competently sell their chametz.

Due to the complications created by the existence of different time zones, we are currently only offering this service for people whose homes are within continental North and South America.

Privacy information - this process requires the collection of some personal data. If you are planning to be away from home for Passover, there are some things you will want to know about our service. Please read more…

Important times and dates when will your chametz be sold and when will it be bought back?:

Who is Rabbi Eliezer Ben-Porat and what qualifies him for this task?
