"Elijah the prophet, Elijah the Tishbi, Elijah the Giladi. May he quickly come to us with Moshiach, son of David." (Traditional Song)

Eliyahu, one of the greatest prophets in Jewish history, ascended Heavenward in a whirlwind, on a chariot of fire pulled by horses of fire (II Kings 2:11). We anxiously await his return, setting out a place at our Seder table and a goblet of wine every Passover. For when he does, it will herald the coming of the Moshiach!
