If you bumped into Eliyahu HaNavi, what question(s) would you ask him?
June 24, 2016 3:06 am at 3:06 am #1156951popa_bar_abbaParticipantkabbayim b’shmona amos.
June 24, 2016 3:25 am at 3:25 am #1156952windycityyidMemberWhat took you so long to come!
June 24, 2016 4:52 am at 4:52 am #1156953Mashiach AgentMemberI 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?
June 24, 2016 1:28 pm at 1:28 pm #1156954☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhose gloves are those sitting in my closet for the last seven years?
June 24, 2016 1:45 pm at 1:45 pm #1156955Sam2ParticipantDY 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.
June 24, 2016 1:48 pm at 1:48 pm #1156956☕️coffee addictParticipantOh really, MA?
So what did he answer you?

I wish i can tell you.
how fortunate am i that i have been to thousands of brissim just in the last few years alone & no i am not a mohel.
June 24, 2016 8:34 pm at 8:34 pm #1156958☕️coffee addictParticipantSam,
It’s not Torah to answer who’s gloves are in my closet
June 24, 2016 8:35 pm at 8:35 pm #1156959☕️coffee addictParticipantSecondly teiku isn’t munach ad sheyavo Eliyahu
June 24, 2016 8:48 pm at 8:48 pm #1156960Sam2Participantca: Popa’s case was a Teiku.
June 24, 2016 8:52 pm at 8:52 pm #1156961☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantLess than 17 syllables.
June 24, 2016 9:12 pm at 9:12 pm #1156962☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSee ???”? ??? ?????.

June 24, 2016 9:50 pm at 9:50 pm #1156963☕️coffee addictParticipantRight Sam2,
And dy is munach so don’t lump them together
June 26, 2016 12:06 pm at 12:06 pm #1156964☕️coffee addictParticipantAnyways,
What I would ask him is which Adam gadol I’m descended from
I heard from rav Shragie neuberger that everyone frum nowadays is descended from an Adam gadol
June 26, 2016 12:55 pm at 12:55 pm #1156965147ParticipantWhy 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.
June 26, 2016 1:21 pm at 1:21 pm #1156966popa_bar_abbaParticipantCoffee, besides for the avos? Are they not good enough?
Anyway, statistically, you’re descended from every ashkenazi rishon, and every amorah, tanna, etc.
June 26, 2016 1:52 pm at 1:52 pm #1156967Sam2Participantca: 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.
June 26, 2016 2:06 pm at 2:06 pm #1156968☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSam, did you look at the Tos. Yom Tov I linked?
June 26, 2016 3:01 pm at 3:01 pm #1156969Sam2ParticipantDY: The ToY”T is not a Rishon.
June 26, 2016 4:08 pm at 4:08 pm #1156970☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantTrue, but still…
June 26, 2016 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm #1156971☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAlso, check this out, where it’s quoted in the name of the Rambam.

June 26, 2016 6:37 pm at 6:37 pm #1156972☕️coffee addictParticipantSam,
Now I get it
Btw teiku is tishbi yitaretz
June 27, 2016 4:31 am at 4:31 am #1156973mw13ParticipantSam2:
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…
