Eliyahu Ha-navi

In last week's Haftara we read of the mission of Eliyahu Ha-navi "before the arrival of the great and awesome day of Hashem." I read the same Haftara for myself when I review the Sidra on the Shabbat before Yom Ha'atzma'ut. His mission is to heal a generation gap which seems to only be getting worse.
V'heshiv lev avot al banim v'lev banim al avotam. The older generation will be reconciled to their children's building the geula seemingly divorced from Torah, while the young will be reconciled to the ancient traditions of our people. Otherwise G-d forbid the next pasuk will materialize. But we shall overcome.
