Among the events narrated, the Torah tells us about the birth of Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah. But Abraham already had another son, Ishmael, the son of Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah&#039;s servant. Ishmael was thirteen years older than Isaac.<\/p>\n<p>Cuando ya eran ambos m\u00e1s grandes, Sara vio que Ishmael era una mala influencia para su hijo Itzjak, tanto desde el punto de vista espiritual, ya que su comportamiento inclu\u00eda el robo, el asesinato y dem\u00e1s perversiones, como desde el punto de vista de seguridad: Ishmael \u00abjugaba\u00bb a tirarle flechas a Itzjak&#8230; Entonces, Sara decide pedirle a Avraham que eche a Ishmael junto a su madre (Hagar) para que no afecte a su hijo Itzjak. Luego de una consulta con Di-s, Avraham decide escuchar la voz de Sara y echar a ambos de la casa.<\/p>\n<p>Our sages tell us that Ishmael was paralyzed, so his mother had to carry him, and when their water ran out, she left him lying in the shade of a tree, simply waiting for him to die. She moved away from him so as not to see him die and began to pray. He also prayed (see Genesis 21:17), God heard Ishmael&#039;s voice, and an angel showed Hagar a well of water for them both to drink from, and in the end, they both survived.<\/p>\n<p>Aprendemos de aqu\u00ed que Di-s escucha la plegaria de un enfermo m\u00e1s que la plegaria de otros por \u00e9l, en este caso, la plegaria de Ishamel fue escuchada y no la de Hagar. Sin embargo, hay otra ense\u00f1anza muy importante: nuestros sabios cuentan que, cuando Di-s iba a mostrarle a Hagar el pozo de agua, los \u00e1ngeles se quejaron diciendo que los descendientes de Ishmael iban a matar de sed al pueblo jud\u00edo cuando est\u00e9n y\u00e9ndose al exilio (ver Rashi en el lugar), por lo que no correspond\u00eda ahora salvarlo de su sed. Di-s respondi\u00f3 la queja diciendo que se juzga a cada persona por el ahora, es decir, por el nivel en el que se encuentra en el momento del juicio, no por lo que har\u00e1 en el futuro (esto se aprende de las palabras finales del vers\u00edculo citado \u00abporque est\u00e1 ah\u00ed\u00bb, es decir, es juzgado \u00aben donde est\u00e1\u00bb.).<\/p>\n<p>Surge aqu\u00ed una pregunta: si Ishamel y su descendencia ten\u00edan libre albedr\u00edo, \u00bfc\u00f3mo sab\u00eda Di-s que su descendencia iba a matar de sed al pueblo jud\u00edo? Una de las explicaciones es que, seg\u00fan la vida de Ishmael, seg\u00fan sus ideas y educaci\u00f3n, seg\u00fan la forma en que ya tom\u00f3 decisiones, si la historia continuaba su curso de la misma manera que ven\u00eda desarroll\u00e1ndose, su descendencia iba a caer en ese pecado. Como si fuese un juego de probabilidades: dados ciertos valores iniciales a ciertas variables y con las reglas actuales en el universo, Ishmael iba a terminar haciendo eso. Lo que pasa es que, en cualquier momento, est\u00e1 en manos del hombre cambiar esas probabilidades, en otras palabras, hacer Teshuv\u00e1, acercarse a Di-s de manera que \u00abcambie\u00bb el futuro. O sea, el juda\u00edsmo no cree en el determinismo, pero, de cualquier manera, Di-s \u00abconoce\u00bb el futuro como si fuese en forma de probabilidades.<\/p>\n<p>La novedad de nuestra historia es que Ishamel no fue juzgado de acuerdo a ese Conocimiento Divino del futuro, sino de acuerdo a d\u00f3nde estaba \u00e9l ahora. Esto deja para nosotros un mensaje de aliento y esperanza: no importa (hasta cierto punto) lo que vayamos a hacer ma\u00f1ana, sino importa el ahora. Cuando tomamos una resoluci\u00f3n de mejorar y crecer espiritualmente, no debemos desalentarnos si podemos llegar a fallar, como dicen nuestros sabios: \u00abQuien viene a purificarse, lo ayudamos\u00bb.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week&#039;s Torah portion is called Vayeira (And He Appeared) and recounts part of Abraham&#039;s life after his Brit Milah, or circumcision.
