The
Gemoro (Eruvin 43a) assumes that אליהו הנביא cannot appear on Shabbos
or Yom Tov,
because
of the Issur of Chutz L’tchum. (if Issur Techumin is Lemaloh Meiasarah )
How
can we say at a Bris, on Shabbos & Yom Tov “Zeh Hakisei Shel Eliyahu—עמוד על
ימיני - ?
The
Shu”t Chasam Sofer (Chelek 6-98) explains that there are two parts to אליהו הנביא. His
גוף
(body) which is resting in Gan Eden Hatachton, in this world. The other part is
his
נשמה,
which went up to heaven and serves as a Malach.
At
a Bris he appears as a Malach (Malach Habris) from heaven. A Malach is not
obligated to keep
the Mitzvohs. There also is no Din of Techumin from heaven to earth
(Tosfos
45b dh. Leima) .
When
the time will come, Bimeheiro Veyomeinu to bring us the Besura of Higia Z’man
Geulaschem, E.
Hanavi will appear with his גוף & נשמה. at this
stage he is like any
Yid
who is Mechuyav in Mitzvohs . He can’t come on Shabbos & Y.T. from Gan Eden
Hatachton
which is Chutz L’tchum.
According
to this Chasam Sofer, For E. Hanavi to appear at the seder, can only
be as a
נשמה.
He can’t come as a גוף since it would be Chutz L'Tchum.
As a גוף he could drink the wine prepared for him As
a נשמה the only way
for him to drink is
by us shaking the
table.
Hence the Minhag of
shaking the table and telling the children to watch
אליהו הנביא is drinking the wine.
