”י ִנ ְּב ,אוּה ך ְּב ִל ְּב “

He’s in Your Heart, My Son

On Seder night all the sons and grandchildren sat at grandpa Motale’s

house. Grandpa read us the Haggadah and we all sang after him. Grandpa

used to explain the Haggadah for us, and we all listened to him. We drank

four glasses of wine, ate Matzot, bitter herb, celery and eggs in brine. After
the meal we used to open the door, and prophet Eliyahu would come in.

Grandpa Motale would see him. We didn’t see him, but we felt [him].

Grandpa used to sit him at the head of the table and serve him “Eliyahu’s

glass”, which we poured for him. How did we know that prophet Eliyahu

would come before Pesach? Because it is written that God will send
prophet Eliyahu before redemption day. And indeed, Pesach is the holiday

of redemption, in which the People of Israel were redeemed from Egypt.

Why will Eliyahu come? In order to unite everyone in love for God, love for

the Torah and love for Israel.

When Seder night arrived, I’ve already grown up a bit. When one should
have opened the door for prophet Eliyahu – I [was the one that] ran to the

door and opened it widely. But nobody was there.

I ran to father and told him with sorrow: “father, Eliyahu didn’t come”.

“My dear son, he was there and you didn’t see him, he came in. I’m telling

you he is here”.

“But I don’t see [him], father. Do you?”
“Yes, I see him”.

“Where is he, father, where?” I shouted.

“In my heart, in your heart, in the heart of all of us”.

“In the heart?” I asked, “do you see him in my heart?”

“Yes”, said father and kissed my forehead, “I see him. Bless you, my son,

for prophet Eliyahu is in your heart”.
