Based on Genesis 21:18, in which Hagar is reassured that Ishmael will become a great nation. This Torah portion also includes the near-sacrifice of Isaac and the banishment of Hagar and her son Ishmael. The message is clear: We must protect our children so that they may grow to actualize their fullest potential.
Qumi, se’i ’èt hana‘ar,
hakhaziqi ’èt yadèch bo.
קומי, שאי את הנער
החזיקי את ידך בו
Come, carry your children,
Hold on, don't let go!
I wil make you a great nation.
Hold on, don't let go!
