Selling Passover Chametz

Clip: 4/21/2016 | 4m 8s

Preparing for Passover means getting rid of yeast or leaven by burning it, or selling it.

The eight-day Jewish festival of Passover begins tonight (April 22) at sundown. To prepare for the holiday, traditional Jews have searched their homes for any yeast or leaven and then have given it away, donated it to charity, burned it, or authorized a rabbi to sell it for them. Rabbi Yosef Landa of Chabad.org explains the ancient prohibition against chametz.
