- Q. Dear Rabbi, Is it correct for a new young and likely only temporary Rabbi from a shul to sell the Chamtez from the shul and that which he bought from the members and others, to the Gentile that always fulfills that purpose? After all he does not have the authority of an accepted Rabbi of the institution?
A. He has to be named and delegated that authority by the accepted and legally responsible directors of the institution, even if it is only temporary. The above applies and is effective even if he lacks any other legal rights and position in the Shul.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Yaakov Hirschman, Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller, Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a.
