Thanks to Peter R. Elbau the above photo has been identified as J.N.A.V. Zephirah in Czernowitz and Peter added the following photo from the year 1919:
Dear Edgar,As you know, we are lucky with Peter ( thanks again ,Peter !). The moment he said “Zephira” , I looked at the faces.And, I’ve found my father’s brother : Schamschon Schechter-Ehrenkranz.He is in the “sitting row” the 5th from left , or, the 5th from right. Schamschon Schechter was an important Zionist leader and also a member of J.N.A.V. “Zephira” ( in German spelling).The correct English spelling is : ” Tsfira”.More about “Tsfira” and Schamschon Schechter in this article:http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Bukowinabook/buk2_157.htmlRegardsIrene
