I thought it was really cool. We had a laugh that night when our cat sauntered in when we opened the door for Elijah.

My DH and I did a lesson on this several years ago, covering the typical passover menu and its symbolism. We forget these symbols in our day often, so the reminder is good. We'll be serving "resurrection potatoes" this year. They are like funeral potatoes (identical, in fact), but on Easter, it seems more fitting to call them resurrection potatoes. Frankly, it sounds more appetizing too. This is great, Jeff. My DH and I did a lesson on this several years ago, covering the typical passover menu and its symbolism.

It reminds me of when I was in 4th grade, and I visited a Passover dinner with my next-door-neighbors who were Jewish. To me, it was new and exciting, and yet familiar. I distinctly remember my feelings as the door was opened for Elijah, and it truly did make me take more seriously the idea that Elijah is a big deal. Before, it was a strange and abstract concept (that Elijah would return), but after that Passover dinner, I realized that the return of Elijah was important to many, many souls.
