David (Dudi) Roth is the Chief Executive Officer of Meir Panim, an international relief organization dedicated to combating poverty and food insecurity in Israel.

Following a transformative personal experience after relocating from the United States to Israel in 1996, David dedicated himself to humanitarian work. He partnered with Meir Panim’s founder to scale the organization’s impact, which now provides vital nutrition and social support services to thousands of children and adults daily.

As a passionate advocate for social welfare, David travels globally to represent Meir Panim, build international partnerships, and champion sustainable solutions for Israel’s most vulnerable populations.

Mimi Rozmaryn is Meir Panim’s Director of Global Development, where she connects supporters all over the world with the work of Meir Panim in Israel.

Born and raised in New York City, Mimi graduated from the University of Maryland in 2003 and began her career in the Jewish nonprofit world.

Years of experience at Hillel’s Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore’s Jewish Federation prepared her to take on her current role.

After moving to Israel in 2018 with her husband and three boys, she was connected to Meir Panim, where she feels as comfortable serving meals to patrons as working behind her desk and in meetings.

Her favorite part of her position is the ability to see the impact of the organization’s mission in the faces of each person and sharing this special place with the world.
