One Mitzvah Leads to Another: Sell Your Chametz
Halachah (Jewish law) prohibits eating chametz (leaven) during Pesach and also forbids us to even own chametz. Our tradition provides a legal procedure: you can sell your chametz and, an hour after after Passover concludes, you can "buy" it back (without actual delivery or pick-up). This year, Rabbi Rapport will serve as your "Chametz Agent." There is no fee—you can make a contribution (maot chittim) HERE.

Families with Kids Passover Programs 
CBST offers many ways that families with kids can celebrate Pesach! Online and Offline K’ilu Seder for Young Children, Pre/Teen Escape Room and Puzzle Experience, Aggadah Adventure Challenges and more!
