TBI is helping to facilitate the symbolic act of the selling of chametz, which celebrates the interdependence of Jews and their non-Jewish friends and neighbors. During the week of Passover, tradition teaches that we rid our homes of all leavened grain products, known as chametz in Hebrew. Today, this involves members of a local Jewish community delegating the power to sell their personal chametz to a local rabbi, who then sells it (usually for a dollar) to a non-Jew in the community. After Passover, that non-Jewish friend sells the chametz back to the rabbi, also for a dollar.
