Collected Item: “Aftermath of the Chametz Struggle”

Title

Aftermath of the Chametz Struggle

Narrative or description

On the afternoon of Nissan 14, 5780 or April 8, 2020, a rabbi contracted through Chabad.org sold the rights to our chametz to a gentile for the duration of the Passover holiday. The chametz was still physically present in our home and the temptation proved too great for my husband, who was eating the gentile's cake within hours of the transaction.
