While this is not Reform practice, the editors of Torat Hayim have choosen to present commentaries on chapters 21 and 22. After a child is born, we recite a Mi Shebeirach at a baby naming or a bris. Grateful parents ask the Creator to grant their offspring the very best that life has to offer. Among the requested blessings are chochmah, binah, v'haskeil-wisdom, understanding, and discernment. Of the three, discernment is the most valuable and rare.
Discernment is more than simple smarts.
Discernment is the ability to see, really see. It enables a person to look into the heart of a matter and then evaluate it in ways not obvious or ordinary. Someone once said that a genius is a person who looks at what everyone else looks at but sees what no one else sees. Seeing is very much the subject of the Torah portion traditionally read on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. Sarah sees the potential threat that Ishmael poses to Isaac's inheritance.
