RABBI LORD JONATHAN SACKS, Z"L

FORMER CHIEF RABBI OF UK

The Meir Panim organization brings people together, and bridges the gap between the different ethnic groups, communities and sectors that make up the population of Israel. But all this is nothing at all in comparison to their endless devotion and concern for the underprivileged among us who depend on the generous gifts of other people.

Meir Panim has concerned itself again this year with making sure everyone has a proper meal for the holiday of Passover, all over Israel. Because of their work, every person will be able to have a joyous holiday, with food and great happiness.

“With everything happening in Israel, with the inflation of prices and the rise of living expenses, we see more and more families affected economically…Everyone can contribute in some way…”

Yossi Yonah

Meir Panim does great charity work giving out hot meals throughout the entire year. This year has been specifically difficult for many families. Because of Covid-19, many new families have joined the list of those that the organization gives out hot meals too.

BENNY BEGIN

“Let’s do our part to fulfill the biblical mandate to bless Israel and help those that are suffering from poverty in the Holy Land.”

ERICK STAKELBECK

HOST, THE WATCHMAN | TBN NEWS DIRECTOR

People come to Meir Panim without any shame whatsoever. People who literally have nothing to eat come for nourishment and feel dignified. It is lively place that is full of humanity. It is a place that respects both those served and its employees.

MARINETTE VAKNIN

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, MINISTRY OF WELFARE

Shalom and warm greetings. The crown jewel of Meir Panim’s work is its network of soup kitchens spread throughout Israel, particularly in peripheral regions, where each day thousands of depressed, brokenhearted people can eat and enjoy hot, nourishing meals.

Please support the work of Meir Panim. May God bless you so that you may bless Meir Panim so that it can bless the people of Israel. Wishing you every success in the work of Meir Panim, day by day and week by week. 

RABBI LORD JONATHAN SACKS, Z"L

“We have had a partnership with Meir Panim for many years. We are privileged that they are helping to distribute food in Yeruham. Teens from Yerucham have taken part in the “Young Chef Training Program” in Dimona, which helps train teens in the culinary arts. The head of Meir Panim’s Dimona branch lives in Yeruham, knows the families in the city, and takes responsibility for them. Residents of Yerucham are grateful for the assistance from Meir Panim. They understand that someone is there to help them and has come to their home to help. That is the beauty of the organization – they fulfill their mission without headlines.”

Tal Ohana

Mayor of Yeruham

“It is worth donating to Meir Panim with an open hand, with a good eye and with an open heart.”

RABBI CHAIM MEIR DRUCKMAN z"l

ROSH YESHIVA OF OHR ETZION YESHIVA, AND HEAD OF THE CENTER FOR BNEI AKIVA YESHIVOT

To the administration, employees and volunteers of the Meir Panim food centers – may the blessing of God be upon you! “For I said: the world is built through kindness.” Indeed, the virtue of gemilut chasadim (performance of kindness) not only constitutes one of the three pillars on which the world stands, but is also among the fundamental attributes of the offspring of our patriarch Abraham.

In Dimona, Meir Panim’s help is so very much needed. The organization is the heart of Dimona and does such meaningful work here. As someone who knows what it means to love and support Israel, I ask of you to please continue to support the best organization in Dimona. Thank you Meir Panim for the amazing work that you do.

BENNY BITTON

MAYOR OF DIMONA

Yehudit is more than a manager for Meir Panim’s efforts in Tiberias; She is a very dedicated and giving person, with a tremendous amount of motivation to help those in need. There is not a single hungry, destitute person in the city of Tiberias who has not received assistance from her and the Meir Panim crew.
