Selling of Hametz/Mekhirat Hametz
Since ownership of hametz (bread and other leavened products) is not allowed during Pesah, ideally all hametz in one's possession would be given away or destroyed before the holiday begins. This often represents a financial hardship, therefore the practice arose for people to store away their hametz before Pesah and arrange to sell it for the duration of the holiday.
