Bahrain is nominating a Jewish woman named Huda Ezra Ebrahim Nonoo as its ambassador to the United States, according to official hand out.

She is Bahrain’s nominee for the post and this is of course very good news for Bahrain’s deep rooted values of tolerance and openness.

Faisal Fouladh, a Shura Council representative said.
Bahrain, officially the Kingdom of Bahrain, is a borderless island country in the Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia lies to the west and is connected to Bahrain by the King Fahd Causeway (officially opened on November 25, 1986), and Qatar is to the south across the Gulf of Bahrain. It’s official religion is Islam.

Huda Nonoo, a businesswoman, was also the first Jewish woman to sit in the Bahraini Shura Council, the 40 member upper house of the bicameral legislature, replacing her uncle.

She is also the first Jewish woman to head a rights organization, the Bahrain Human Rights Watch, as its secretary general.

The appointment of Huda is based on her qualification and not just a public relations exercise .

her colleagues in Shura said.

She belongs to a tiny Jewish community in Bahrain, dating back to the Talmudic era. Her forfathers migrated from Iraq in the late 19th century.
