Malachi was the last of the Prophets of Israel, and his final recorded
message is found in today's verse, where he describes Elijah heralding in the future
redemption. We read Malachi's hopeful words on the Sabbath before Passover.
Then, during the Seder, we pour a special cup of wine and open the door to
symbolically invite Elijah, showing our firm belief in the final redemption, may
it come very soon!
