Jakov Kalef in the Jewish community building
Here my granduncle Jakov Kalef and my cousin Benko Darsi (second from right in back row) are pictured with other people in the Jewish community building. They were both very active in the community life and members of the board. Jakov also served as a cantor in the synagogue on Cara Urosa Street, Belgrade. I see they are all wearing some sort of medal on their lapels but I don?t know what is was for. It wasn?t uncommon for women to wear such dresses at that time.
