Carly Gresak (5th Year) goes into detail about how the 5th Year Jewish Studies students each made an Elijah Cup in time for Passover.
For one of our many Jewish Studies projects we were told to make Elijah's Cup for Passover this year. We had made these cups out of wine bottles and the Rabbi had brought in the right equipment to do this safely and efficitiently.
