re: #48 SanFranciscoZionist

It’s a legal fiction. You sell the chametz, or the bird, or whatever, to a gentile, and it’s no longer your legal possession.

There was a case I heard about some time back about a young man who wanted to fix his cat, but followed a rabbinic ruling that said you couldn’t neuter your animals. So he took the cat to work, ‘sold’ it to an Arab woman he worked with, she took the cat, had it fixed, and ‘sold’ him the cat back.

Still doesn’t make sense, but I can see how it could be fun if handled the right way.

At least for the greedy capitalist you sell the animals to.
