Iancu Tucarman with members of the Zionist association Hasmonea

A group of friends from the Zionist association Hasmonea, which I joined. The photo was taken during at hike at Barnova near Iasi before the war.  I am on the right, in the back row. 

The organization counted 40-50 members. The reunions were held especially on Friday evening when diverse lecturers were delivering speeches on Israel. Cultural meetings were also organized. The ‘cultural trials’ were very much in fashion. I was attending more of them because they were relaxation places and moreover one was among friends. There was a library of universal literature where one could borrow books from.
