Eliyahu and /Pesach/Teku/Bris

Thanks for the engaging.shiur. Your knowledge is all encompassing and very interesting.

Fristly, we are 'regular' Ashkenazim and always stand up and say Baruch Haba for Eliyahu at the Seder night before Shfoch Hamosecha. Both my father and my husband's father had always done so; I imagine from way back!

'Secondly, Teku is the modern Israeli word also for a draw, as in soccer (football for you Brits); when neither side has won.

And thirdly, I thought Eliyahu was actually punished so to speak, by having to be witness at every Bris, because he complained to Hashem that the Jews were not making brissim when they were.
