The Torah instructs that in observing Pesach all leaven must be removed from one’s home or destroyed. To protect against excessive waste and financial hardship, the Rabbis permit the individual to sell hametz to a non-Jew until Passover is complete.
It is traditional at that time to make a contribution to the Maot Hittim, the Passover Fund, which helps Jews in need to purchase the necessities to celebrate Pesach and helps other hungry and disadvantaged people.
