Hebrew Academy of Nassau County

The Hebrew Academy of Nassau County (HANC) is a K-12, comprehensive, Modern Orthodox Jewish school system, located in Nassau County, New York.

History

In 1953, Nassau County was virtually empty of Jewish education. Through the dedicated efforts of Rabbi Meyer and Goldie Fendel, and a small group of individuals, the vision to establish a Hebrew day school on Long Island was conceived.

Today, HANC’s four campuses, the Samuel and Elizabeth Bass Golding Early Childhood Center and Elementary School (two buildings) in West Hempstead, the HANC Plainview Elementary School and Joshua Waitman Early Childhood Center (one building) in Plainview, and the HANC Middle School (also referred to as the Moses Hornstein Educational Center) and Brookdale High School (one building) in Uniondale, serve more than twelve hundred students, from nursery through high school, who come from fifty communities throughout Long Island and Queens.

After Rabbi Fendel made Aliyah, Rabbi Shlomo Wahrman took the helm as principal and Rosh Yeshiva.

gollark: ```Oh look, it’s a cute baby... Comrade? It’s impossible to see much of its body through all the flames.Young Comrades are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.```
