You Can Create A Wave That Changes Lives.
Imagine a single flame lighting up a soul. Now picture it rippling outward—reaching Jews across the Hawaiian islands and beyond, creating waves of Torah, mitzvot, and connection.
At Chabad of Hawaii, this is what we do all year—one connection at a time. A menorah lit. A Shabbos table shared. A forgotten memory sparked back to life.
As we step into 2025, we ask for your support to keep the waves of Torah and Judaism flowing, touching the lives of Jews across Hawaii in the year ahead.
Real lives are changed through these waves of connection:
-
A soldier stationed overseas, carrying a disposable menorah Chabad gave him 10 years ago, lighting it every Chanukah wherever he’s been sent - from remote bases in the Middle East to the Pacific.
- A young man, three generations removed from Judaism, remembering “Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah” from Chabad of Hawaii Hebrew School (he attended a decade earlier!), as he lights the menorah for the first time in years.
-
An Israeli girl who grew up with family so secular that BBQs on Yom Kippur were the norm - keeping Shabbos in Hawaii—and inspiring others to do the same.
- A fleeting encounter with Rabbi Itchel in Hawaii that led a man back to Torah, family, and building a successful and thriving kosher restaurant in New York decades later.
These moments begin with a single act—and that’s where you come in.
Your donation this Chanukah kindles the light of Torah and creates waves of connection, care, and mitzvot that reach far beyond what you can imagine.
Like the ocean’s waves, these ripples flow across generations, touching lives in ways that we may never see.
Together, let’s keep the waves flowing.
Together, let’s kindle Torah and touch souls across Hawaii.
