besalel: How remote are we talking? Phillipines? Kenya? Or when you say “remote” do you mean, dare I say it, “OUT OF TOWN”? Its obvious you’re getting a little carried away with the shlichus stuff… I doubt it’s as extreme as you make it sound. Personally, I don’t think I’d have a problem moving to an out of town community in the US or Canada (where there’s already some sort of frum jewish presence) for my husband to do chinuch or to be a baal habayis if he’d be doing it for the sake of building a community, as a rebbi or a baal habayis.
