It definitely happens. It is a sign that The Yetzer Hara is actually concerned with your learning, and would like to stop it. Take it as an encouraging sign, and double down. Learn more, sit through the distractions. The other possibility is use it to your advantage, if you are getting frustrated that your phone calls are not getting through, or that nothing is happening in your business dealings, open up a gemara, I can almost guarantee you, that something will happen to distract you from learning. If I am wrong, you get an hour of learning in, if I am right, you get the deal moving.
Eliyahu as a Malach certainly does show up to every Pesach seder, The Kos is a physical object that the malach can occupy in order to manifest in this physical world. It is similar to the Kisie shel Eliyahu at brises. Obviously no wine is drunk, as malachim don’t eat. Whether a person has the sensitivity to see, or perceive Eliyahu’s presence is an extremely personal situation, but it does help to know what to look for.
Health, please, It is bearable, and tolerable. As a charedi living in Israel with a 17 year old son, let me assure you, the amount of money the government is currently giving is negligible. The biggest problem is that the government has taken away the option to work from the community. If this law fixes the problem, and the draft starts at 21 then the biggest problem will be who decides who the big learners are. I have 5 sons, i want them to be frum, and be able to make a living. If they are passionate about learning, wonderful, if not, I want them to be more than van drivers or money changers. There are no disasters here.
Kreplach are eaten on Yom Kippur or Purim, Wontons are eaten in your eggdrop soup at Yossi Peking, and ravioli is eaten when you are on a trip to Yerushalayim to see your son, and you take him and 3 of his friends to eat dinner at an over priced milchig restaurant in town. How do you not know this simple stuff?
This thread makes my heart hurt, so I figured I have to throw my opinion in here. At some point, The chilonim and the charedim will make peace. the chilonim will stop expecting the charedim to disappear, and they will realize the value of people beingan eved hashem. The charedim will somehow become more accepting of people who are different, wether they be a different chassidish sect, or sephardi, or even some sort of zionist who wants to be part of Klal Yisroel while being respectful of the kedusha of Eretz Yisroel.
Once the fighting stops, moshiach will come. No bloodshed, no midana crashing, the Arab threat will fade away to nothing, because it is just a manifestation of our sinas chinom and the chillul hashem of having a state without god. Once all parts on Klal Yisroel do tshuva, there will be no need to have the Arabs threatening us, and Geula will naturally flower. That is the end game, the middle game, how we effect the reconciliation, well that is a whole other thread.
