In heartfelt tribute to the memory of
Samuel & Judge Elizabeth Bass Golding ז"ל
and in recognition of their legacy to the
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
 
HANC is the major beneficiary under the last wills of both
Samuel and Elizabeth Bass Golding, of blessed memory,
with provisions for a Permanent Endowment Fund,
and Annual Lecture Series, and a Scholarship Fund
for HANC graduates who attend graduate school
 in the fields of law, medicine, rabbinical studies,
and education.
May their righteous souls find comfort
in knowing that their values and virtues
 are those that are instilled in
our students...their children.
In Memoriam
The HANC Family is forever indebted in its Hakarat Hatov to 
Rebbetzin Goldie Fendel a"h 
for all that she enabled HANC to become.
 
 More than 65 years ago, Rabbi Meyer and Goldie Fendel envisioned what others said was not possible. Their dream of providing a high quality Jewish education to generation
upon generation of Long Island Jewry became a reality through their dedication
and that of the many who joined them in their mission.
 
Her leadership, commitment, warmth, and foresight enabled the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County to be established and thrive on Long Island. Our HANC "founders" - individuals with a strong desire to build a Jewish educational institution to meet the needs of our diverse Jewish community - came together in unity to offer their time, talents, expertise, funding
and unconditional love to build the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County.
 
Where Rabbi Fendel is known as the "builder" Rebbetzin Fendel Z"L is fondly remembered
and thought of as the "architect" behind the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County.
 
Throughout the years, the Fendels have served as inspirational role models, exemplifying the highest ideals, and bearing the torch of Torah on Long Island. Through their vision and endless hard work, the lives of thousands of young Jewish students have been forever enriched. 
 
In Memoriam
In loving memory of
GOLDIE FENDEL a'h
 
"YAMIM CHOLFIM, SHANAH OVERET AVAL HAMANGINA L'OLAM NISHERET"
 "DAYS PASS, YEARS FLY BY BUT THE MELODY OF HER LIFE LIVES ON IN ETERNITY"
 
Goldie Fendel a'h was a wise woman of integrity and principle, of warmth and compassion, of sensitivity and love, of few words but much action, a true Ashis Chayil and a devoted and loving mother. She was the quintessential  Ezer Kinegdo, working hand in hand with her husband, Rabbi Meyer Fendel, may he live and be well, to first build a vibrant Jewish community in West Hempstead and then plant a citadel of Torah, HANC, in its midst.
 We are particularly blessed that the melody of our friendship has transcended time and place, resonating through the generations of our families, from parents to children, shaping our lives and enriching us...forever. 
May her memory be a blessing.
 Rabbi Moshe and Sondra Gottesman
 
In Memoriam
In loving memory of our dear wife and mother, Rebbetzin Goldie Fendel,
we send our congratulations to the entire HANC family, both past and present.
 We remember this special role model of loving kindness, ideals and sensitivity,
who stood, with ever-present warmth and good cheer for everyone around her,
behind and alongside her husband and joined in his mission to spread Torah, love of Israel, and devotion to middot.
 We pray that the vision of HANC's founders, together with that of its leaders today, merge together to continue to produce young men and women who lead and contribute to Am Yisrael.
May Hashem bless HANC with continued success as it carries on all that she worked and prayed for.
יהי זכרה ברוך

In Memoriam
Rebbetzin Goldie Fendel
was a true "Eishet Chayil".
 She worked tirelessly alongside Rabbi Fendel to build the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
and the community of West Hempstead.
Her smile, warmth and care for everyone that she met was her Hallmark. Her personality is inbedded into the makeup of our school.
 
The Hebrew Academy of Nassau County High School
is eternally thankful for all the she did for us.
 May her neshama have an Aliyah.

Dear Debbie,
 
30+ years ago, our family observed a young aspiring teacher
whose dedication to her students and craft was 2nd to none. The deep roots you planted through your teaching have produced great fruits over the years, especially with those who benefited immensely from your warmth and skills.
May the Ribbono Shel Olam grant you health and strength
(as we all know, teaching may be one of the most exhausting jobs that exists) to continue your great work on behalf of HANC's students and families.
