As David prepares to escape from King Saul, Jonathan reaffirms their
everlasting bond in a sign of true friendship. Though Jonathan was extremely
righteous, Scripture finds fault in the way he sent David on his way without any
food. David traveled in severe hunger to Nov where he urgently requested
provisions. From Jonathan's mistake, we are taught to always send off guests
with enough food for their journey. Today in Israel, the sad reality is that
many children from disadvantaged families simply do not have enough to eat.
TikvaHope supports a network of after-school youth centers across Israel that
offers hope for disadvantaged children and struggling families. At Tikva’s
afternoon centers, each child receives a hot, nutritious lunch as soon as they
arrive. As a result, they are alert and ready to concentrate throughout the
afternoon. Before they go home, the children receive a light dinner – to ensure
that no child goes to bed hungry.
