Since 2017, H.E. Hassan Al Thawadi, Secretary General of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy has worked with FFEU President Rabbi Marc Schneier to accommodate the global Jewish fans in attendance at the World Cup 2022.
The Kosher food initiative implemented in Qatar during World Cup 2022 is the result of a successful collective effort spearheaded by Rabbi Schneier with Qatari and US Congressional officials.
The Kosher kitchen is under the supervision of Rabbi Mendy Chitrik of Istanbul and Chairman of the Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States, and his son Rabbi Eliyahu Chitrik. The Kosher food includes the production of the first bagels in Qatar, baking of Challah for Shabbat and other ethnically Jewish delicacies.
Rabbi Schneier thanked in particular H.E. Mr. Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways for dedicating a Kosher kitchen at QACC – Qatar Aircraft Catering Company, and Attila Dogudan, Chairman of FIFA’s VIP caterer Do & Co for overseeing the Kosher Qatar initiative.
In working with H.E. Mr. Hassan Al Thawadi, Secretary General of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, Rabbi Schneier was joined by the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Qatari-American Strategic Relationships, Congressman André Carson and Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, Qatari Ambassador to the United States H.E. Sheikh Meshal bin Hamad Al Thani and H.E. Dr. Ibrahim Bin Saleh Al-Naimi, Chair of the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue.
