You may have noticed that Elijah's cup is currently empty. This is because resources for those in need do not come out of thin air, rather we are called upon to share our own. We will now pass Elijah's cup around the table and I ask that each of you pour some of your drink into it so that we may collectively fill it. No one person must give all they have, but each person must give a little so that Elijah may have enough. This year, I want to dedicate Elijah's Cup to the remaining Israeli and Palestinian hostages still held in captivity, as well as the countless displaced and ended lives of innocent Palestinian and Israeli civilians in Gaza affected by Israel, Hamas, and the ongoing war.
