Evening of Pesah and Hagadah - Rabbi Mordechai Elyahu ZTZVK"L

Rabbi Elayhu was the "First to Zion", an Israeli chief rabbi.
His, father Rabbi Salman Elyahu ZTZ"L was a successful merchant in Bghdad who was sent by Rabbi Yosef Haim the Ben Ish Hai ZTVK"L, a truly symbolic and prodigious leader of that most ancient diaspora community, to invest in the land of Israel and inherit it.
Rabbi Salman made Aliyah in 1919, but lost all financial property and minimum stability very fast due to the mess that was happening in the land, leaving his son Mordechai an orphan at a young age.

The family lived in poorest conditions in Jerusalem, and while Rabbi Elyahu as a kid used to sell beans on the street, noticed by the by the old Jerusalemite sages, he was pulled into to study.

He was really among the sages of the generation, sat in Baba Sali's ZTZVK"L court in spite of his relatively "young" age.

Common knowledge is during one of the most crucial wars in Israel history Rabbi Elyahu, Baba Sali and Rabbi Kaduri all went into a jet and hovered encircling to pray over Israel. But that's just the tip of the magnitude of the story of who Rabbi Elyahu was, and how much understanding he had even among the most important leaders on the globe, including the fiercest enemies. His humor and love for Israel was always felt and still resonates among anyone who reads his simple humble, and vibrant language.

He was also among the first Jews to address the Muslim guards in the Cave of the Patriarchs when freed by Israel. And he did it better than any politician or general could. There were no guns in the Cave, and the agreed with him being completely charmed by his Arabic,
and the sincerity and straight manner.

It's called "hitting Torah" for a reason. Even at the oldest age Rabbi Elyahu needed no books, it was an a act of great humility so that no one in Israel gets uncomfortable about their knowledge, the same as he would especially buy not the most beautiful citruses for the same reason. Sage and teacher of the generation, and a true prodigy.

Here Rabbi Elyahu ZTZ"L discusses the Halacha of the Pesah preparations on 70 different levels, and the meanings, or what in Hebrew is literally called 'tastes' of the different mitzvot.

And the many peoples shall go and say: “Come, Let us go up to the Mount of Hashem, To the House of the God of Yaakov; That He may instruct us in His ways, And that we may walk in His paths.” For instruction shall come forth from Tzion, The word of Hashem from Yerushalayim
Isaiah 2:3 (The Israel Bible™)

Hear the verse in Hebrew

v’-ha-l’-KHU a-MEEM ra-BEEM v’-a-m’-RU l’-KHU v’-na-a-LEH el har a-do-NAI el BAYT
e-lo-HAY ya-a-KOV v’-yo-RAY-nu mi-d’-ra-KHAV v’-nay-l’-KHAH b’-o-r’-kho-TAV KEE
mi-tzi-YON tay-TZAY to-RAH ud-var a-do-NAI mee-ru-sha-LA-im

All Must Learn God’s Torah and Walk in His Ways
The job of awakening the will of Hashem (God) to rebuild the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple) is not limited to the Jewish people. Rather, the third Temple will be built by all of mankind. And if the Beit Hamikdash is to be built through prayers and good deeds, as Jewish tradition teaches, it is the prayers and good deeds of all of humanity that will rouse Hashem to build it. Once built, it will be a house of God for all nations. People of all backgrounds will visit there in order to learn God’s Torah and walk in His ways. Our generation is blessed to see this promise being fulfilled, with millions of non-Jews realizing that “from Tzion shall come forth the Torah and the word of Hashem from Yerushalayim.”

My favorite thing about Israel is that they are right there in the Middle East and they are our allies. Better to have friends than enemies. Love you Israel
