Hi! In this video, I am sharing with you the things I wish I knew as a new convert about the Jewish holiday of Passover/Pesach and how it is observed as an Orthodox Sephardic Jew.

We cover the basics about Pesach, such as the history behind it and the reason we are celebrating, as well as the practical aspects of what mitzvot are performed (and how, and when) as part of Passover celebrations.

If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to post in the comments under the video. :)

  • Chag Pesach Sameach! I am going to start the process of converting to Orthodox Judaism. Please daven for my success. Baruch HaShem!
  • It can't be easy to find time to make a video with four young children, a newborn, and Passover preparations . So...thank you! I always learn something new or recall something I had forgotten.
  • Wow! I just stumbled upon your channel and it's such hashgacha protis! I finished my geirus in 2016 before shipping off to seminary in Israel and it was been s u c h a journey! As a young frum mom who is still learning to juggle homemaking and child rearing while having temporarily limited access to a frum community, I've been looking for positive content like this for at least year. I've recently become very interested in contributing as it seemed this niche wasn't so big. It's wonderful to find you and I look forward to adding your yiras shamayim, Yiddishkeit-positive content to my repertoire of favorite Orthodox Jewish creators, along with the likes of Frum It Up, Jar of Fireflies, Sonya's Prep, and Living Chassidus. Thank you for spreading more light and emes ❤
  • Shalom Jayelle 😊 I'm officially now in the process of conversion to Orthodox Judaism. I was blessed to spend the Passover week at our local Chabad House. It was such a beautiful experience for me. I am just starting out, so I didn't yet have to clean my entire house but G-d willing I will next year!! Thank you again for all of your educational and very needed videos! I hope you and your family had a lovely Pesach! ❤❤

  • I think that pesach is daunting for everyone. Thanks for the reminder about the candle as I prefer a 72 hour one and I am out. Wishing you a happy and kosher pesach.
  • With five young children including a newborn, you do a wonderful job in letting others understand the holiday. So glad I have started cooking for the holiday. That’s you for the reminder of the long burning candle. I forgot. Back to the Kosher store to morning.
  • @em-agan
    Hope you had a good shabbos! I love the way you teach, you make it so easy and talk about what’s assumed basic knowledge by other creators. I’m converting and this is my first pesach since starting the process.
