FFEU President Rabbi Marc Schneier was a keynote speaker at the Iftar hosted by H.E. Shaikh Abdulla R. Al Khalifa, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the United States. The event gathered more than 130 Muslim, Jewish and Evangelical Christian guests who celebrated the Kingdom of Bahrain for promoting religious tolerance and cooperation. Rabbi Schneier offered his remarks alongside Imam Mohamed Hag Magid of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) and Reverend Jonnie Moore of United States Commission on International Religious Freedom.

On February 2018, Rabbi Schneier led the Hampton Synagogue Congregational mission to Bahrain, which was the first-ever congregational mission to an Arab State in the Gulf. The delegation met with the Prince of Bahrain, Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Bahraini officials and leaders of the Bahrain Jewish community, including former ambassador of Bahrain to the United States Huda Nonoo, current member of Bahraini parliament Nancy Khedouri and community leader Michael Yadgar.
