Infos

In a prior book titled Honey and Poi Sgan had come across many stories about Jewish individuals, events, and organizations which have had an impact on their host Hawaiian culture. No institution, it seemed remained unaffected by the presence of Jews (less than 1 %) in Hawaii. In telling this story from his point of view, he will attempt to persuade the reader that although never large in terms of numbers, Jews, Judaism, and Israel played important and unrecognized roles in each stage of Hawaiian history from 1778 to the present. Further, this book seeks to persuade readers that such impact is based on admirable personal traits derived from Jewish traditions and heritage. Those traits, if examined, understood, and applied properly, foster constructive, responsible, and productive actions. They encourage Jews to work toward the improvement of the social conditions of the societies and communities in which Jews live.
