Below is some general information we've compiled for the standard visitors' questions.

We have recently moved into our new quarters - Mazel Tov! Our shul, school and offices are at the Ala Moana Hotel (410 Atkinson Drive in Waikiki) in the former Hawaiian Hut Restaurant.  To get to the Chabad House, walk up the right side of the circular entrance to the hotel and there are stairs on your right leading to our Chabad House about halfway up the hotel entrance driveway. 

Our offices are open from 9:00 am - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.  Please feel free to call with your inquiries and reservations.  Please do read further so you will be better equipped with information before calling.

KOSHER FOOD / SHABBAT MEALS 

In regards to Shabbat meals:  We have a weekly Shabbaton with public communal, - delicious, home-made and gourmet - meals on Friday night. Also, we serve a full Kiddush/lunch on Shabbat.  The cost for the dinner (which also includes lunch): Adults and children over 12 - $65; $45 for children ages 2 -12. Prepaid reservations are required. We accept cash, check or credit cards. (If you plan on coming only for the Shabbat lunch, a donation of $20 per person is suggested – still an excellent bargain for kosher in Hawaii!).
