Drink the Third Cup of Wine!

In the Bible, Elijah was a fierce defender of G-d to a disbelieving people. At the end of his life, rather than dying, he was whisked away to heaven. Tradition holds that he will return to herald a new era of peace, so we set a place for Elijah at many joyous, hopeful Jewish occasions, such as the Passover Seder. We now open the door to let Elijah in.

Door is Opened (One of the children opens the door)
