Making A Community In Hawaii

Maybe put it in the wiki when found.

Done

Find me a Shliach who opened a school for just 10 families...

Did you miss this?

(I kid, I kid)

[@Yehuda]

OMG I never imagined this, but from his pics it's clear HNL is a city. Yuch.


Anyway,

MCO has a pre-school/day care of sorts. If people moved to HNL for real, then a pre-school could one day become an elementary school and then...

Still has enough going for it. The weather and close to the rest of Hawaii...

Big difference between a preschool and elementary school.

Huh?
I must have posted a dozen times that you may as well go to MIA if you just stay in HNL.

Exactly.
Though if I was starting a community it would probably be on another island.

Nope.

That's from 2011 and it's a Yeshivas Kayitz...

I remember something of the sort jewish happening there called yeshiva.  That's all I'm saying.

Yes, I've seen that. I assumed that meant busy with tourists like MIA, but I didn't expect tall office buildings lining the streets.

You never saw Hawaii Five 0?
Book 'em, Dan-o!

One of our families will of course be a qualified teacher who will somehow teach all grades.

And all secular studies can be done for free online.

If you're going that route I'm sure you can work something out with these guys

HA! I meant a qualified secular teacher. I figured there are overallless qualifications for someone to be a good Jewish studies teacher that for sure among the group we could find someone to do that. Online studies for elementary school? I feel like we're still a good 10-15 years away from that being practical and actually up to par for kids.

Begs to differ:

Yup, the shluchim I've spoken to all rave about it.

Yes, it definitely is a city. And there are definitely parts of it, like any city, that do not look pretty. Although I love the apartment we found, and it's close to Chabad, when you walk out of the building, it's not the prettiest (others were on much nicer blocks, but the apts weren't good options). However, if I walk 15 minutes I can be in back of the Hawaiian Hilton Village or at the Magic Island Lagoon, looking back at the coastline of Waikiki, and it's gorgeous. If not for wanting to be walking distance to a shul, we' probably move to Kailua or somewhere and commute into HNL.

I just scheduled 3 weeks off from work, a week each in April, June, and July. Thinking Kauai, Maui, and Big Island (did the Big Island 3 years ago, have not been to the other 2 yet). Would also like to see Molokai/Lanai during this upcoming year.

It sounds so awesome and adventurous but to be honest, thats just like me going to Flatbush then Williamsburg and Queens.

3 boroughs in one day? You must be really adventurous...
