Teodor Pasternak and Maccabi members

This is my father, Teodor Pasternak, with a group of 25 people in Lysa-Cergov in 1928. The Maccabi association organized trips on the river Torysa, to the High Tatras and also abroad. My father used to plan the trips. Already in 1926 Maccabi had over 50 members interested in tourism. They were mostly men, but also about ten women.
