Samuel Rehbein
Samuel Rehbein (Simcha Chaim), son of Chris and Aryn Rehbein of St. Louis, became a bar mitzvah in March at Central Reform Congregation.
Samuel is the grandson of Brice and Ilene Bloom-Ellis of St. Louis, and David and Leila Rehbein of Valentine, Neb. He has three siblings, Lily (17), Annabelle (15) and Eloise (8).
A seventh-grade student at McKinley Classical Junior Academy, Sam loves to play the saxophone in his school wind ensemble and jazz bands. He also likes rock climbing and bike riding. For his mitzvah project, he worked with Open Space STL to organize a project where he and his friends removed ¼ acre of invasive bush honeysuckle from Jefferson Barracks Park.
