One of the highlights of every Seder takes place as we welcome Elijah the Prophet into our homes and invite his soul to join our family.
As a child, I recall often staring at the rim of the "Kos Shel Eliyahu" (the goblet of Elijah) hoping to see a little movement in the wine assuring me that indeed Elijah was in the room. Well, I haven’t found the secret as to how to get Elijah to reveal himself to us just yet, but what I have found is something perhaps even more powerful.
Instead of us waiting to see Elijah, let us this year work on "being Elijah"! Elijah has always been the prophet given the assignment of delivering good news and assisting in a time of need.
During the weeks leading up to the Passover holiday, we at Chabad of North Irvine are being made aware of people who are in such dire straits that they cannot obtain the most basic provisions for Passover. This includes large families, single-parent families, immigrants and senior citizens. In response we will be distributing these funds to assist those in need.
Partner with us and let us be Elijah! Let us provide, let us share, let us care - together!
It is axiomatic that showing kindness to others makes us worthy of kindness in our own lives. In merit of your generosity and compassion in bringing the joy of Passover to the less fortunate, may you and yours be blessed with a very healthy and joyous holiday and may you celebrate your Seder along with a very proud Elijah!
