- While they were walking and talking, a fiery chariot with fiery horses came and separated them from each other, and Eliyahu then ascended to heaven in a whirlwind.
- Elisha bemoans the ascent of Eliyahu to heaven: When Elisha saw his master going to the heavens, he cried and proclaimed, “my father [i.e. my teacher[1]], my father, the chariots of Israel and their riders!” After saying this, he no longer saw them.
- Elisha performs Keria on his garments: When Elisha saw his master disappear into the heavens, he took hold of his garments and tore them into two pieces. [From this episode we learn that a student is obligated to perform Keriah upon learning of his Rebbe’s death.[2]]
