King Solomon compares the wife of one’s youth to a fountain, a source of life-giving water, because she is a source of continued life through the children she bears. Water is a precious commodity in Israel, as the country is dependent on God to provide rain in its season. Being dependant on the Lord for rain ensures that His children must maintain a close connection with Him in the Land of Israel, as well as recognize the He is the true source of life and all of its blessings. Unfortunately, there are many youth in Israel who are living in unfortunate situations. Colel Chabad is working to bring joy and happiness to underprivileged children in Israel.
