Hebrew Academy Students Return to Long Beach
First- and second-grade students of the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach returned to their school building last week, after they were displaced to the Lawrence Middle School after Hurricane Sandy.
The students of the yeshiva, which serves children in grades one through eight at 530 W. Broadway, returned on the fourth day of Chanukah, after they were schooled in various rooms throughout LMS, including the gym, the assistant superintendent offices and the occupational and physical therapy rooms that were converted into classrooms.
A week after the storm, Gary Schall, superintendent of Lawrence Public Schools, reached out to Richard Hagler, HALB’s executive director, to see if the district could help the students, according to The Jewish Star.
Schall said:
“We could allocate the space. It has no impact on public school operations; it’s very workable.”
In August, HALB came in second to Mount Sinai Hospital in a bid for a former school property in Woodmere, the Number Six School at the corner of Peninsula Boulevard and Branch Boulevard.

It is well known that these trees cannot stand the burden that is placed upon them. Then they tell us that we cannot plant bamboo, which is very hardy! Why does this city not want us to have vegetation? Do they want us to resemble a barren wasteland? What is the real reason for the outlawing of bamboo? These people do not want us to think for ourselves. They think we are stupid idiots. Join me in planting bamboo in place of these dead trees. We will protest the tyranny of tis city against practitioners of botany.

On this site there is a copy of Rescue Inks's 2011 tax form which is public information. It shows right on that tax form how they only paid 6% of their income for the animals. Also it is in the contract (also public information) with the City Of Long Beach, that Rescue Ink is just "running" the shelter. The building is owned & maintained by the City which also pays all utilities & vet bills. You should do a little research yourself before you question us. We could never put up these "facts" unless they were true.

Eddie, I received a note that you commented but I don't see it here..did you delete it? In any…Read More event, my response...
"Since your landlord is a huge supporter of the Long Beach Democrats, you'll get nothing, and he'll continue placing Section 8 in his slum. Bet I know who you voted for too. Oh well."
Didn't know my landlords were huge supporters and I'm sure they do continue placing Section 8 prostitutes, drug addicts and felons in their houses, as it sure seemed that way with my neighbor who assaulted the other tenants and they knew about and did nothing. But as to "I'll get nothing"...already got that covered..didn't sue in Small claims court Long Beach....figured the politics already...sued in Nassau county for a sum that includes the treble damages for their theft, and other issues. And....the law is completely on my side so very prepared.
As for the school "being there when they need them", please note also that Hebrew Academy of Long Beach PAID RENT to the School Board for the use of the Lawrence Middle School. It wasn't free.
