Rosh Hashanah REMIX: New Year, Sweet Start

NEW! Rosh Hashanah Remix:
Saturday, September 12 at 10 a.m.

Rosh Hashanah Remix: New Year, Sweet Start is a High Holiday experience created just for 3rd–6th Graders. Our hope is that our kids won’t just attend Rosh Hashanah; they’ll truly experience it. Our goal is that they’ll walk away feeling more connected to their own hopes for the new year and empowered to teach others about this sacred season.

Our Rosh Hashanah Remix will draw on all our favorite parts of the services, learning, and community building you know and love at Shaare Emeth in a brand-new package. All five senses will be in play as we taste the flavors and smell the sweetness of a fall Rosh Hashanah Seder, see friends old and new, hear the familiar tunes of the season, and touch and create an artistic dive deep into the meaning of the High Holidays. All we need are the people there to help us build community and bring it to life.

Registration is required. The Remix is totally free for all members of Shaare Emeth. Non-members are welcome to join us for a suggested donation of $18.

ABOUT

Leanne & Harvey Schneider

2026 Harris Frank Community Service Award Honorees

Harvey and Leanne Schneider have devoted their lives to strengthening both the Jewish and broader St. Louis communities through leadership, service, education, and a deep commitment to bringing people together.

A St. Louis native, Harvey Schneider attended local public schools before earning both his undergraduate business degree and law degree from Washington University in St. Louis. Following graduation, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he served as a trial attorney in the Tax Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. After five years of federal service, he returned to St. Louis and became a partner in private law practice. Over a legal career spanning more than five decades, Harvey represented family-owned businesses and private individuals in a wide range of business matters.

Harvey’s commitment to civic and Jewish communal life has been equally extensive. He has served as President of Congregation Shaare Emeth, the Interfaith Partnership of Greater St. Louis, the Central Agency for Jewish Education, the Little Symphony Concerts Association, and the Forever Young Club at the Missouri Athletic Club. In addition, he dedicated 26 years to public service on the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Town and Country, including three years as chairman.

After graduating from Washington University, Leanne Schneider spent a year studying in France. Upon her return to St. Louis, she became deeply involved in international student exchange programs, first with the Experiment in International Living and later with AFS, fostering cross-cultural understanding and lifelong connections among people of different backgrounds. This commitment to building bridges naturally extended to her involvement with the Interfaith Partnership of Greater St. Louis.

Leanne also taught French and Spanish at Brittany Junior High School before she and Harvey started their family. Throughout the years, she has shared her passion for education and community service by tutoring New Americans through the English Language School, serving on Congregation Shaare Emeth’s first Caring Committee, and volunteering as a reader with Ready Readers. Today, she continues to nurture her love of learning and literature through a book club that includes many members of Congregation Shaare Emeth.

Together, Harvey and Leanne have exemplified a lifetime of generosity, service, and leadership. Their dedication to education, interfaith understanding, civic engagement, and Jewish communal life has enriched countless lives throughout St. Louis. They are the proud parents of three children and grandparents of four, and their enduring legacy continues to inspire future generations.
