The Cup of Elijah Elijah, the prophet from the village of Tishbi in Gilead, challenged the injustice of the king and overthrew the worship of Baal. He healed the hunble sick and helped the widowed. As to the end of his days on earth, his disciple Elisha had a vision of Elijah being carried to the skies in a chariot of fire.
Legend has it that Elijah returns to earth, from time to time, to befriend the helpless.
Hence he has a place at every Seder. Moshiah ben David, in Moshiah ben David. On Pesach night we relive the experience of the Exodus from Egypt. We recall the heroic spirit of faith and trust of our people in times of trial and peril. May we, like our forefathers, strive ardently to bring about the triumph of right and freedom over might and slavery.
