The Torah recounts the dramatic moment when Ishmael, the son of Avraham and Hagar, was near death in the desert of Beersheba after being sent away from Sarah’s household. The story highlights divine compassion: when Hagar, far from her dying son, wept, G-d heard the cry of the youth. An angel appeared, instructing Hagar to arise, for G-d promised to make a great nation of Ishmael—the Arab people. A miraculous well of water was revealed, saving them both. This act of chesed, of kindness and rescue by the Almighty, is a foundational element in understanding the relationship between the Jewish people and the Ishmaelites. However, the Talmud Yerushalmi recounts a harrowing episode that took place during the destruction of the first Beis Hamikdash. Eighty thousand young Kohanim, fleeing the soldiers of Nebuchadnezzar, sought refuge among the Ishmaelites. Thirsty and desperate, they asked for water. The Ishmaelites offered a cruel, deceptive repayment for the kindness shown to their ancestor. They provided flasks that appeared full of water but were filled only with air, leading to the tragic demise of the Kohanim. The prophet Yeshayahu rebukes the Ishmaelites for their ingratitude, reminding them that Hashem provided their ancestor water in the merit of Avraham. This contrast reveals a challenging truth about the nature of the Ishmaelites, described as eternally ungrateful, regardless of the generosity or gifts extended to them. Rabbi Lerner stresses that even efforts to be kind and cordial will not quell this deep-seated hatred until the end of days, until Mashiach comes. So, what is the ultimate recourse for the Jewish people against such enmity? The answer, according to Rabbi Lerner, lies not in diplomacy or gifts, but in Torah observance. True protection and peace come only when Klal Yisrael observes the whole Torah. Hashem promises that when we are good to Him and His Torah, He will arrange circumstances such that even our worst enemies will come to us and ask for peace. The choice is stark and clear: rely on human efforts with the Ishmaelites and receive ingratitude, or cling to Hashem and His mitzvos and be placed on top of the world.
