On October 3, 2023, the Consul General Mr. Angel Angelov was honored as a guest at a breakfast for the diplomatic corps in New York on the occasion of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, held at the Park East Synagogue. The event was hosted by Rabbi Arthur Schneier, president of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation.

In 2020 Rabbi Schneier received the highest honor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria, "Golden Laurel Branch" in recognition of his "outstanding merits for the promotion of interreligious and intercultural understanding", presented to him by Ambassador Georgi Panayotov, then Permanent Representative of Bulgaria in the UN.

The mission of Rabbi Schneier and the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, which brings together spiritual leaders of various faiths, is to promote peace and tolerance. In a comment on the rescue of the Bulgarian Jews during the Second World War, Rabbi Schneier stated that for him the response of the Bulgarian people to the "cry of the oppressed" was an example of courage and inspiration that others should follow.
