Let me break it down for you.(1) The law: Jews may not possess or otherwise eat, consume or have any use or enjoyment of Chometz on Passover. This includes food or anything else that may contain leavening. (2) Thus, Jews must dispose of all Chometz in their homes, cars, offices, et al before Passover. (3) To dispose of the Chometz, Jews must either (1) destroy it by burning (2) throw it into a public garbage can (some say that throwing it into a garbage can that you own is not considered "disposition") and/or (3) sell the Chometz to a non-Jew. This must be a real sale - the non-Jew has the right to use any Chometz sold to him over Passover. Refusal to allow the non-Jew to use the Chometz is evidence that the sale was not legitimate and the Chometz is still in the possession of the Jewish person, thus violating the law. (4) After Passover ends, the Jewish person can buy back all of the Chometz sold to the non-Jew. The non-Jew has the right to refuse to sell it back (although that seldom happens). |
