Truth & Kos Shel Eliyahu
From Rabbi's shir.
Tatty told his young son that Eliyahu HaNavi comes each year by seder and drinks the wine and cleans the cup. Boy stayed up all night to see Eliyahu, instead saw his tatty doing it – this shattered the boy’s whole emunah – ie it’s all not true, yetzias mitzrayim, krias yam suf, …
We have to be real careful and truthful when we speak to our children.
Why called “kos shel Eliyahu”?
Vilna Gaon – argument in Gemorah re: R Tarfon says we should have a fifth cup & others say no – so we have a fifth cup but don’t make a brocha on it - due to the questions on this issue, Eliyahu, the one who will eventually answer all the taikus/unresolved questions, comes.
From Shulchan Aruch HaRav Hilchos Pesach siman 480
Rema: Open door to show we are not afraid – it is a night of guarding – to transcend fear – this is part of the emunah that will bring moshiach. And if Eliyahu will come we want to be able to leave quickly so the door is open.
Sefer Hamanhig and Chok Yaakov and Magen Avraham
But where there’s ganavim don’t rely on miracles so keep the door closed.
For healing (of all types) one must open themselves up - then things happen, remove the blockages, open up to possibilities.
Why Eliyahu comes to each seder?
Pirkei d’Reb Eleizer perek 29: Eliyahu haNavi in Tanach said about the 400 prophets who were worshipping avodah zarah “I am the only one who is jealous/cares about HaShem” – ie that they had abandoned the bris. HaShem: “That is not true. You will testify to the truth. You must come to every bris and also to the seder (only kosher mahled Jews are invited cuz have to eat the korban Pesach) to show and testify that the Jews did and do keep the bris!
