Introducing “Pesach Without Panic:” A Guide for Conversion Candidates, Beginners, and the Overwhelmed

Let’s be real – Pesach prep can feel like too much. Between cleaning, kashering, meal planning, and trying to remember everything to do, it’s easy to spiral into overwhelm. Especially if you’re a conversion candidate, doing this without a clear roadmap can feel impossible.

That’s exactly why I created Pesach Without Panic.

This guide is everything I wish I had when I was prepping for my first real Pesach – and honestly, every Pesach since. It’s practical, straightforward, and conversion-friendly, just like I always try to be here on the blog. No guilt, no perfectionism, no trying to impress Susie Homemakerstein on Instagram.

In Pesach Without Panic, you’ll find 54 pages of:

  • Checklists that make sense
  • Detailed, day-by-day timeline of important tasks and times
  • Prioritized cleaning list
  • Menus and shopping lists
  • Scripts and tips for talking with your rabbi
  • How to find a seder or host your own
  • It’s adaptable to any tradition or diet
  • Conversion-friendly halacha explained simply
  • Permission to focus on what matters and let go of what doesn’t
  • And more! Sample pages are available on the website.

Who it’s for:

  • Conversion candidates facing Pesach prep for the first (or third) time
  • Anyone who feels overwhelmed by Pesach “shoulds”
  • Neurodivergent, disabled, busy, or budget-conscious folks who need an adaptable approach

If you’re prepping for Pesach and feeling like you’re already behind – you’re not alone.

If you know someone who could use this, please share it. Word of mouth is how most of us in the conversion community find the resources we need – and there are so few made just for us. Let’s help make sure no one has to do Pesach alone.

Let’s make this Pesach a little less panic, and a lot more peace.

Chag kasher v’sameach!
