This year more than ever, selling you chametz online is the easiest solution. Here’s how it’s done.

Leading halachic authorities have ruled that online authorizations are acceptable for the purpose of selling chametz and with Jewish communities in worldwide lockdown, physically removing chametz from the home and selling it this year is a little more complicated.

The Chief Rabbinate of Israel offers an online service for the sale of chametz.  Access the Israel government services website portal here and follow the instructions.  The form is in Hebrew but here is a translation of the required fields which you can fill out in English.
