Elijah's Cup

Elijah’s Cup is a symbolic custom in Jewish tradition during Passover Seder, representing the prophet Elijah’s anticipated return. A special cup of wine is set aside and filled to symbolize welcoming Elijah, who is believed to herald the coming of the Messiah. The open door step during the Seder signifies this expectation. The ritual reflects themes of hope, redemption, and the ongoing quest for spiritual redemption, serving as a reminder of faith in future salvation and the importance of welcoming and hope within Jewish faith and tradition.
