    I bumped into him this morning at a bris and asked him how much longer will it take until Hashems loving nation klal Yisroel does TESHUVA?

    DY and PBA: Ad SheYavo Eliyahu is an idiomatic phrase meaning Yemos HaMashiach. Teiku standing for “Tishbi Yavo” is a cute mnemonic not found in the Rishonim, as far as I know. The rule of Lo BaShamayim Hi still applies. Eliyahu HaNavi can’t answer those questions.

    Why did you let Chutz lo’Oretz procrastinate so ridiculously longtime to catch up Parshi’os with Israel? so that we unfortunately shall yet once again have to miss out the beautiful Haftoro on Parshas Pinchos which is all about you Eliyohu haNovi.

    Coffee, besides for the avos? Are they not good enough?

    Anyway, statistically, you’re descended from every ashkenazi rishon, and every amorah, tanna, etc.

    ca: I didn’t. I gave two responses to their two points. I just did it in one post.

    147: The Chutz La’aretz system was set up first. You should ask why Eretz Yisrael didn’t find a way to fall back to us faster.

    Also, check this out, where it’s quoted in the name of the Rambam.

    Sam2:

    The rule of Lo BaShamayim Hi still applies. Eliyahu HaNavi can’t answer those questions.

    Part of the inspiration for this thread was that I recently saw a great piece from R’ Gershon Zaks (grandson of the Chofetz Chaim and talmid of the Brisker Rov) on Eliyahu HaNavi that dealt with that very issue.

    R’ Gershon Zaks brought down a maamar Chazal that says Eliyahu HaNavi will come primarily to end all machlokesim, and explains that Eliyahu HaNavi is uniquely suited to accomplish this task because he has two different methods at his disposal. Since he is a Navi, he can ascertain the metziyus through nevauh (such as who an avaidah belongs to); and since he was one of the links of the transmission of the Torah (listed in the Rambam’s famous shalsheles hamesorah), he can explain Torah She’Baal Peh as it was originally given and understood.

    Also, I would add that since Eliyahu HaNavi is still alive, he can come to us before techiyas ha’maysim.

    I also always thought that Teiku standing for “Tishbi Yavo” is a cute mnemonic, but R’ Gershon Zaks brought down a legitimate source for this idea. I forgot who it was from, but DY seems to have found other legitimate sources as well…
