Selling Chametz
Even if you don’t keep a kosher kitchen, and/or you don’t “convert” your kitchen for Pesach, there is still spiritual value in selling your chametz: You are engaging with myriad Jews worldwide in a practice that can be traced back to Torah and, if you include a donations to “ma’ot chitin,” you are enabling those in need to more fully celebrate Pesach.
A Few Things About Pesach (With lots of links)
There is a wealth of information about Pesach (and the challenges of this year) at Exploring Judaism.org.

It’s Pilpul*! It’s Poetry! It’s Purim!
Two writes don’t make a wrong.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
No right on red, don’t lose your head.
Three stars do make a night.
Three rights might make a left,
try not to lose your mind.
Don’t get ahead of your own self,
you might be left behind.
Purim is on fourteen Adar,
but if ancient wall surrounds the city of your house and car,
on the morrow, grogger sounds!
Give alms to poor,
gifts of food to friends,
and hear the story: how Esther and Mordechai — oh, how good! — saved the Jews and rose to glory.
Festively feast until you’re sated,
dress up as clown or lemur.
Be joyful, be happily inebriated!
— Rabbi Jonathan & Ellie Kremer *Pilpul: rabbinic sillygism
