Sale of Hametz for Pesach
Agency Appointment

I hereby appoint Rabbi Mordecai Miller, the Rabbi of Congregation Beth Ami, 4676 Mayette Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA 95405, to be my agent for the purpose of selling my Hametz.  I understand that Rabbi Miller will select a purchaser of his choice for this sale.  I understand that the sale will be conditionally consummated at 11:00 am on Wednesday, April 5th, 2023.  

I understand that Rabbi Miller will demand a deposit from the purchaser to be transmitted to him by 11:00 am on Wednesday, April 5th, 2023, with the balance of payment to be received by 8:40 pm on Thursday, April 13, 2023.  I understand that if the balance due for my sale of Hametz has not been remitted to Rabbi Miller by 8:40 pm on Thursday, April 13, 2023 that the sale will be cancelled by virtue of the condition of full payment not being met, and that the Hametz then will automatically revert to my ownership at that time.  

I accept the definition of Hametz as set by Jewish law and tradition (i.e., leavening, leavened products, and leavening processes).  I understand that under no circumstances may I use, or benefit from, Hametz from 11:00 am Wednesday, April 5th, 2023 until 8:40 pm on Thursday, April 13, 2023.
