Hebrew Academy of Nassau County


Brookdale Highschool of Nassau County is a K-12, comprehensive, Modern Orthodox Jewish high school, 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, two in West Hempstead, one in Plainview and one 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.
