Tower of Leadership

To our beloved HANC family - When we think about the last 23 years, living in West Hempstead, and all that we are grateful for, HANC is top of mind.

To our Rebbeim, Morot, administrators and teachers - You have walked beside us, side by side, hand in hand, as we have navigated the challenges of parenting and education. Thank you for your complete devotion and commitment to Yiddishkeit and the education of our children.

To all of the lay leaders that I have been blessed to work with - Your passion for making HANC the best it can be in every way inspired me to try to be even better each year that I was privileged to lead the charge. Thank you for your guidance, advice, dedication and most importantly for your time.

To our business office and all other support staff - While content to be out of the limelight, please know that nothing in our beloved Yeshiva can happen without everything you do each and every day. Thank you.

To our new leadership - I believe in you and I'm counting on you. You have been given the opportunity and responsibility to elevate our unique Yeshiva. As you navigate the complexities of lay leadership remember what makes HANC unique; academic excellence, כבוד הבריאות, יראת שמים, and above all mentschlechkeit.

To our parents and children - it's all about you. Thank you for putting your trust in us and believing in us.

May HaShem continue to take care of and protect our special HANC and all of Klal Yisrael. May we merit to see the safe return of our hostages, and peace, both in the land we we live in now and the land we love and where are hearts are.
And always remember...HaShem loves us,

Ruchi, Tsvi, Ezra, Avi, Nili, Yosef and Naomi Kushner

Although when we moved in 19 years ago, we only sent our children to HANC as we were afraid of our neighbors,

we have never regretted the decision!

Under your leadership and guidance, the school has grown, prospered and succeeded and we have hakaras hatov to HANC and to its leadership.

They are helping HANC continue its important mission of raising a new generation of children grounded in Torah based values.

May Hashem bless them with the wisdom and strength to continue to model these important attributes of communal giving.

"When you want to get something done ask a busy person"

The quote was written with Tsvi and Ruchi in mind.

Had you decided to be an active HANC parent - dayenu.

But you continued... Had you been devoted parents to Ezra, Avi and Nili - dayenu.

But you opened your hearts and home to include Joseph and Naomi.

You took responsibility to school, shul and community to the next level.

I am proud to be your mother.

This year's Guests of Honor form a beautiful and inspirational tapestry. The Kushners have invested so much time, thought and love to the growth of our community, and in particular to HANC, and the Millers, as second generation West Hempsteaders, were direct beneficiaries of that benevolence. They have taken all that they have learned, so much of which has been facilitated by Ruchi and Tsvi, and by Gila and Yaakov and the Miller and Schneider families, and converted it to action. What better results could Ruchi and Tsvi have hoped for as they exerted so much effort all those years than to share this honor with the fruits of their labor?

Ma'ase Avot Siman L'banim (and L'bonim)

As beneficiaries West Hempstead's meteoric growth and success, as parents of HANC graduates and as grandparents of HANC students we extend our heartfelt appreciation to all of the honorees
We would also like to thank the HANC teachers and leadership, past and present, for fulfilling the dream of Rabbi Gottesman, whose spirit is kept alive by you in the hallways and classrooms of HANC.

Gila & Yaakov

Thank you for all that you do for HANC and the entire community.

After 29 consecutive years, sadly this is our last year as HANC parents.

Our thanks go out to all the many HANC teachers, rebbeim, principals and administrators who have been there for our children over the years.
