It's not booked yet.
 Or could it only be added to the beginning of the itin since it's a OW?

The current plan for the way back is WAW-CPH-REK-JFK on Norwegian and IcelandAir.

Switch it up? ;)

Or just go to HNL before your trip.

Flipping is a possibility, but probably won't be practical. This is a Frankenstein trip combining Lizensk and mekomos hakdoshim with a 3 day Icelandic photography marathon (non-stop shooting and driving, not touching a bed).I don't see how I could do Iceland first.

Not to mention that each half is with different people, which makes it even more confusing to flip.

You only get 1 free stopover but you can have more connections if they're under 24 hours and you get 2 open jaws to play with.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Open jaw I can stay in ORD for 4 days, then fly out of MKE-HNL, would that be a stopover or Open jaw?

New at this field, trying to maximize my trip

It'd be both if you're doing TLV-ORD // MKT-HNL,

So some suggestions how I should plan this trip. TLV-ORD (for weekend)-HNL (stover) -ORD(For weekend)-TLV

Would this basically not happen, not allowed? Anyway to get around this?

Technically, as Dan said, you're only allowed one SO on a RT.

So you could do:

TLV-ORD(stopover for a week)-HNL(destination)
HNL-ORD-TLV
