This book relates how Jewish families established, maintained, and developed organizations that preserved their cultural, religious, and ethnic traditions in Hawaii. Jews benefitted from a host society that accepted, encouraged, and related to them. Families worked hard to set up synagogues, temples, amd congregations as well as educational, charitable, and social service organizations. This book traces such developments from 1850 to the present. It highlights the complex characters, milestone events, Hawaiian history, and worldwide developments that marked and impacted how Jewish organizations came to be on the four major islands of Hawaii.
