Since 2007, FFEU pioneered and has become the global address for Muslim-Jewish relations. Our programs span over 30 countries with a vast global network of grassroots organizations. Our global partners include heads of states and leaders from Muslim and Jewish communities supporting our groundbreaking efforts.
The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding is the Global Address for Muslim-Jewish Relations and the National Address for Black-Jewish Relations.
Black-Jewish Relations
FFEU was founded in 1989 by Rabbi Marc Schneier and the late Joseph Papp while tensions were increasing between the Jewish and African-American communities. For over two decades, FFEU was instrumental in repairing this historic alliance. In 2014, as it celebrated its 25th anniversary, FFEU was honored by the United States Congress as the national address for Black-Jewish relations.
