Tribute Honorees
This year, we recognize three distinguished individuals whose common last name is synonymous with being involved in community – Cory and Stanley Schneider and Steven Schneider. Though they share a name and an ethos, each has individually demonstrated outstanding service to our synagogue and the broader Jewish community.
Steven has shaped the direction and destiny of our community by bringing his entrepreneurial spirit to Neve Shalom. He was a key member of the team that established our community’s mission and vision statement along with our adoption of our congregation’s defining mantra of “One Community.” He has served on almost every committee at the synagogue, led the Men’s Club as President, held the office of Membership Vice President, and currently serves as Treasurer.
Cory and Stanley have served in leadership capacities in the Jewish community for over 45 years. Stanley has served as the Yeshiva Academy President, Jewish Family Services President, and as synagogue President in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. At Neve Shalom, he has supported our community’s future through involvement in committees including Life & Legacy, the rabbinic negotiating committee, and the fundraising committee. In Harrisburg, Cory served as the president of the Yeshiva Academy PTA, the leader of their synagogue’s women’s Chevra Kadisha, and the president of its sisterhood. She held the highly acclaimed position of International President of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, and co-founded the Neve Shalom Loom Room, which has inspired over 100 individuals to personally weave their own ritual objects.
These three individuals embody the ideal of giving back from generation to generation, and we are privileged to honor them in recognition of their outstanding service to our congregation. They will be heralded as Neve Shalom’s 2020 Tribute Honorees with a luncheon scheduled for Sunday, May 3 and commemorated with a special tribute journal that we hope will be filled with congratulatory messages from every member of our community.
Thank you for joining us in expressing our deep appreciation for these deserving individuals.
