Jim Putney upon the loss of his mother

I, the undersigned, fully empower and permit HaRav A. Stolper to act on my behalf to sell all chometz possessed by me (knowingly or unknowingly) as defined by the Torah and Rabbinic law (e.g. chometz, doubt of chometz, and all kinds of chometz mixtures); also chometz that tends to harden and adhere to a surface or inside of pans and pots or cooking and usable utensils and all kinds of live animals that have been eating chometz or mixtures thereof, and to lease all places wherein the chometz owned by me, may be found, especially on the premises located at:

and elsewhere. The approximate value is $____________________________. This includes transit goods that would be delivered to me during the period of Friday, April 21 to Sunday, May 1 2005, inclusive. HaRav Stolper has the full right to sell and to lease my transactions as he deems fit and proper and for such time which he believes necessary, to a non-Jew of his choosing.

Also, I do hereby give HaRav A. Stolper full power and authority to appoint a substitute in his stead with full power to sell and lease as provided.

The above-given power is in conformity with all Torah and Rabbinical regulations and laws, and also in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and of the United States.

I hereby affix my signature:

Type of chometz, i.e. baked goods, non-Pesach matzoh, flour, yeast, cereals, bread crumbs, groceries, gefilte fish, canned foods, certain pills, medications, cosmetics, animal food, alcohol (ethyl), liquor, beer.

NOTE: RICE, SWEET CORN, PEAS AND BEANS DO NOT HAVE TO BE SOLD, BUT MAY NOT BE

It is forbidden for a Jew to possess chometz during Pesach, even if not eaten. To avoid considerable financial loss, a procedure of selling chometz to a non-Jew is performed to legally transfer ownership of one’s chometz at both home or business during Pesach.

The sale is legally and halachically binding. You should know the estimated value and what you have for sale.

The chometz you are going to sell should be stored and\or locked in a room, closet, cabinet or bin, no later than 11:00 AM Friday, April 21, 2005.

Dishes and utensils are NOT SOLD. They should be cleaned and stored away until after Pesach. What hardens and adheres to utensils and tableware IS SOLD.

When you appoint the Rav as your agent, you are not selling the chometz to the Rav, you are giving the Rav power-of-attorney to act in your stead to sell the chometz to a non-Jew.

To appoint the Rav as your agent, you will find on the reverse side, a form which you should complete, INDICATING WHERE YOUR CHOMETZ IS STORED AND ITS APPROXIMATE VALUE. This form should be signed and given to the Rav prior to Erev Pesach. You must meet with the Rav personally (or send a representative) to consummate this transaction with “Kinyan Suddor”, which the Rav will explain to you.

Rav Stolper will be in Shul everyday after Shacharis and Maariv to answer any questions and help in completing your delegation of power to sell your chometz.

If you desire, you may call HaRav Stolper at his office, 538-5118 or send a fax to 673-3503.

Shacharis - 6:45 AM
