Every time we go to a brick millah, there's a big beautiful chair. And what's the chair the chair of? It's Eliyahu Hanavi. In fact, the Zohar that we read on the night before, we read about what it is, that Eliyahu Hanavi comes to every brick millah, but only if you invite him. That's what it says. And that's why we say that line, "Ze Eliyahu Hanavi zachur latov." Right? What are we doing? We're inviting him. You don't invite Eliyahu Hanavi to come, you don't prepare the chair for him, he don't come. Why is Eliyahu Hanavi coming? Cuz Eliyahu Hanavi says about the Jewish people that they did not keep God's brit, his covenant. Hashem says, "You're speaking about my people that they don't keep the brit. You go and bear witness that every brit that they keep it was an onus." That's what Chazal tell us. Moshe Rabbeinu said about the Jews, "Hen lo ya'aminu, they're not going to believe me." God punishes him. Moshe who gave his life for the Jews, once he judged them unfavorably, "Shim'u na Amori." Punished. God loves a person who loves his children.
