In the past years, COVID has stopped more than a few things. One of those things has been the Jewish families tradition of saving a seat for the return of Elijah. There was some dispute over whether or not Elijah could actually contract or spread the virus. However, it doesn’t seem like that matters anymore, because now that the government has received the control it wanted to gain by shutting everything down; it no longer deems COVID to be a major threat anymore, and so people have slowly gone back to their normal activities. Thankfully that means Jewish families will once again open the door for Elijah, as long as he’s vaccinated. However, some say we may have missed him…
We tried reaching out to Elijah himself for a comment on whether he would actually get the vaccine, and he said “no” and that he was “already was here about 2,000 years ago”, but he “would like a little fruit of the vine…”
