When one considers the meaning of the modern family, so often today our gaze is internal — what do we, as genetic relations, do for one another and mean for one another — and what do future generations "leave behind" for their genetic offspring who then follow in the same pattern.

But some families actually seek to redefine this limited, genetic view of their own meaning. They are somehow able to see beyond their own borders to construct new notions of family through global acts of generosity and enlightenment, bringing together people from many different genetic and national backgrounds to fulfill common causes and to create better ways of life together — beyond the three dimensions and four walls of a single household.

The progenitors of this family, Bernard Schneider and Marjorie Schneider, are originally from "The World’s Capital," New York — and they now are highly respected residents and professionals in Philadelphia, the "City of Brotherly Love" and the birthplace of the world’s modern notions of equality, freedom and democracy.

Bernard Schneider, MD: A Humanitarian for All Ages

To begin by discussing honors that Dr. Bernard Schneider has received might serve only to distract from the portrait of a man who has spent his life solely in service of others. Most recently, Dr. Schneider was honored with the prestigious Norris Award from Methodist Hospital of Philadelphia, in recognition both of his career as a physician but more importantly his extraordinary spectrum of human qualities that have made him not only a superb clinician and a leader in the medical profession, but also a leader of every community he has served and of humanity as a whole, for half a century.

While Dr. Schneider is respected far and wide for his keen intelligence and uncompromising ethics, it can be said that it is for his benevolent human qualities and sound judgment that he has been most respected of all. If we are to look to the fountainhead of the Schneider dynasty, we have found a worthy source, for these qualities resonate through all that this extraordinary family has accomplished over the past few decades.

A man devoted foremost to principles of compassion and trustworthiness, Bernard Schneider M.D. has lived a life dedicated to mankind’s highest ideals and devoted unwaveringly to truth. It is therefore fitting that on the basis of these truths Dr. Schneider has been continuously and universally revered by his colleagues, patients, family and friends — decade after decade. And it is likewise fitting that these truths should become the foundation of his family’s legacy.

Marjorie Schneider: History in the Making

Throughout this career of service to mankind, and all the fruits thereof, Dr. Bernard Schneider has been happily married to his wife, Mrs. Marjorie Schneider. While Marjorie Schneider is an internationally recognized expert in the fine arts and a widely respected, licensed antiquarian with profound knowledge and appreciation of these fields of human history and human excellence, Marjorie Schneider likewise began her professional career in service to others: serving as a dedicated and successful educator and cherished guide to those in need of help and guidance.
