This book continues to trace the beneficial crosscurrent’s that Jewish people brought to Hawaii arrival beginning in 1850 to the present. Such benefits were first chronicled in a prior book titled Torah & Taro. Unburdened by any need to proselytize or be in charge, Jews were free to be themselves and to provide their host community with needed services. Their faith's essence found in the Sh'ma (God is one) and the Decalogue and their historical experience as the ‘other’ in their countries of residence provided appropriate guidance. In some detail and in historical and cultural perspective Shaka and Shalom describes the many good deeds, advantages, and programs that people of Jewish heritage have brought to Hawaii. And how Hawaii in its spirit of Aloha accepted, encouraged, nurtured, and recognized such benefits.

This book chronicles the Hawaiian Travelers, a barnstorming baseball team of multiethnic, multiracial Hawaiians, who played across the continental U.S. from 1912 through 1916. This team took on college, semi-professional, minor league, and African American nines. In the process, they won the majority of these games, while subverting venerable racial conventions. It also describes the experiences of some of these players after 1916 as they sought baseball careers on the East Coast of the mainland. This book sheds light on a generally untold story about baseball, race, and colonization in the United States during the early decades of the 20th century.
