15. Zeh Hakisei and Verses recited by Mohel:[1]

Upon the baby being placed on the chair of Eliyahu, the Mohel is to announce “Zeh Hakisei Shel Eliyahu,” and recite other verses as printed in the Siddur. [This verbal designation of the chair for Eliyahu is extremely important as the Zohar implies that without it being announced Eliyahu does not come.[2]]
