The Elijah Minyan, a San Diego Jewish Renewal Community, meets in the backyard of the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community, around 1999.	OH ELIJAH! Oh, Elijah, prophet of good tidings  who comes to usher in the coming of holiness in the world, let us all open the door for you this Passover and proclaim that a great and awesome day has come to the earth now.  I and others join you determined to live as blessings upon the earth. Elijah, this very Passover, as we drink  four cups of wine and set a fifth cup for you, may you rejoice at every Seder and every holy day meal celebrated by all. Elijah, may the coming of holiness into the world now be past tense.  May we no longer stand in line, nor wait for this eventful day. Through the good feeling we now create, may we counter balance the violation  that reverence for life has endured and through forgiveness, ground a new world.     Not with armaments, but with outstretched arms, we take a stand now  to sit down with each other and create Seder, Universal Order in our world,  not only at Passover, but every day. May we each balance discernment with mercy that we might take down  the walls of stone within our own hearts.  May our hearts melt to our own kind,  and create more living room to bless the differences we have with all people.     Each of us, are now adding to the history of peace on earth.  We are secure enough within our personal borders.  We can extend ourselves in love without fear of losing who we are.  We are allowing the earth to move on.  We are planting a new earth that is no longer the warring world  we are leaving behind. We can no longer, for the sake of the earth, hold back our kindness and care for each other.  Through our love, we bring in the long awaited moment when God is mirrored  in every human heart.
