Eliyahu Lives On (IV)
Rabbi Elchanan SametEliyahu’s revelation in rabbinical literature is a contrast to the two previous revelations of Eliyahu after his ascent to heaven. Eliyahu is mentioned, in Talmudic and Midrashic literature as appearing to save individuals from various states of distress, to clear up misunderstandings and quarrels between people, and to fill the role of Israel's great advocate before their Father in Heaven. While Eliyahu remains strict, it is not the same strictness that characterizes him in the Tanakh, directed towards the Israelites. His sternness is now expressed on their behalf, and it is always directed against the sages and leaders of Israel.

Eliyahu Lives On (VI) - The Tikkun of Eliyahu
Rabbi Elchanan SametEliyahu – who formerly accuses Benei Yisrael of forsaking the covenant with God, causing a rift in the course of the generations – is responsible for the healing of this very rift. It is he who connects the generations together and unifies them, with a single heart, to return to God. His presence at every circumcision as well as at every Seder table, where fathers fulfill the commandment to recount the events of the Exodus to their children, is in preparation for and anticipation of his great mission of restoring the hearts of fathers to children, and the hearts of children to their fathers.
