Honorable Judge Roy Altman
Federal Judge, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of Florida
Born in Venezuela and named one of The Jerusalem Post’s "Top 25 Young Visionaries of 2025," the Honorable Judge Roy Altman is one of the youngest federal judges in our nation. Judge Altman travels annually with Christian Federal Judges who have never been to Israel, introducing them to Israeli culture, building a shared understanding between Jews and Christians, and showing them that “Israel is a place where miracles still happen."
