”אי ִב ָנ ַ ה וּהָי ִל ֵא“

Eliyahu the Prophet

.םי ִק ְד ֹ ובוּ םי ִע ְמ ֹ ו ׁ ש ?םי ִ ׂש ֹ וע ה ָמ

Many years ago a man and his wife lived in Bagdad. They were not

happy because they didn’t have a son. On Seder night they sat around

the table and read the Haggadah. When they read “and tell your son…”,

they were sad. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. At the door

stood an old man who asked to sit with them. They welcomed him

gladly. After the Seder, the guest said: “I ask the Lord bless his name,

to come to you next Pesach as well, and your table will be without

order [Seder]”. They were surprised at the guest’s behavior, but didn’t

say anything. Many days had passed, and they forgot about the guest.

Three months before the next Pesach, they had a son. On Seder night

they sat around the table, read the Haggadah, and very gladly told the

story of the exodus from Egypt. But the baby pulled the tablecloth

and made a mess on the table. The parents looked with forgiveness

and love at the boy, whom they prayed for all these years. When they

got to “and tell your son” they smiled, happy. Suddenly, they heard a

knock on the door, and at the door stood the old man from last year.

They were very happy to see him, and said they were sorry for

thinking he was ungrateful. The guest just smiled and said: “you will

get to raise him according to the spirit of the Torah, to Chuppa, and

good deeds”, and disappeared. Only then did they realize that the

guest was prophet Eliyahu.
