Teodor Pasternak and Maccabi members

This is my father, Teodor Pasternak, with a group of about 50 people at the spa in Cierna Hora in 1926. This photo proves that the Maccabi members were keen on walking. Most of them are men, but there were also about ten women. 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.
