As Passover approaches, it is traditional to begin cleaning our homes from leavened products, or chametz. This age-old practice was significantly expanded in meaning by the great thinkers of the Chassidic movement. In their minds, chametz was not only limited to leavened edibles (though this was certainly was true!) but all things that lacked simplicity of matzah. Just water and flour. Bare-bones essence. Other things were considered 'agents of leavening', a kind of life-chametz, inflation of what is essential and necessary in place of what is required and real.
So we encourage you while cleaning out the edible chametz in your homes to also think about where there are other types of chametz in your life as well and what you can do to clean some of that as well.
For your edible chametz, you can use this form to ritually sell it through Romemu to abide by the prohibition of possessing chametz during Passover.
