The celebration (yes, a celebration!), an exhibition dedicated to the colors of autumn, organized by enthusiasts of the Guild of Jewish Artists and Craftsmen, took place at the Brooklyn Public Library - Kings Bay Branch. Nina Tsypina, an enthusiast of her work, an organizer of exhibition activities, has done a tremendous amount of work, and many are grateful to her. Her panel of shells, made together with her husband, Matvey Solovyov, is also at the exhibition and again surprises viewers. Thanks to such people, who united more than 20 years ago, it became possible to talk about our talented compatriots both in America and far beyond its borders, and in the countries from which they immigrated. Works were presented by non-professional artists: paintings, photographs, crafts made from shells, wood, jewelry made from glass melted in a microwave oven, and beadwork. The exhibition helps us see the beauty around us, which we often do not notice because we are in a hurry to work or home, or are immersed in some problems. Thanks to the artists who don’t let us pass by the beauty of autumn colors, who help us to be surprised and rejoice at the amazing colors of today’s Brooklyn, the streets and parks of our city “clad in crimson and gold.” There are many wonderful small pictorial photographs and applied works at the exhibition (authors F. Reicher, G. Katz, A. Nemerovskaya, M. and Y. Kleinerman, L. Kalinina), which delight. As always, bright, Leonid Grinberg’s jewelry is stones, although not precious diamonds, but expensive in craftsmanship. His work is always received with a bang by the audience. His artistic interests are limitless: from huge stained glass windows to small jewelry. Leonid Grinberg is now mastering a new technique - melting glass in a microwave oven. One of the exhibition participants told an interesting story about herself: “I was born in a country where brushes were in short supply, and I made brushes from my own hair.” There are artists, members of the Guild, who paint day and night. Lyudmila Leibovich, who is in love with art, has all the walls in her apartment covered with paintings! Of course, the events in Israel left no one indifferent. The autumn event of October 7 is reflected in this exhibition: candles, the Israeli flag and a terrible date when we lost 1,400 people, and many more are still in captivity and hostages. Large oil works are also presented; I would say professional, classic works. For example, the talented artist Nonna Selipanova painted a large, interesting painting “Palace in an Autumn Park” - the fruit of three months of work. There are also works that reflect not only the autumn of the year, but also, as Eldar Ryazanov put it, the autumn of life - very expressive and interesting portraits of elderly people. In memory of the photographer Evgeny Veprinsky, who recently left us, his wife brought wonderful photographs that were published in New York newspapers. Among cultural and intelligent individuals, talented people of different religions are accepted as members of the Guild of Jewish Artists. An interesting artist, Geoffrey Berman, an American who recently joined the Guild and showed his works at the exhibition, said that after September 11, 2001, he was invited to the hospital to conduct art therapy with patients using drawing. More than 100 works by this artist were purchased from Coney Island Hospital. The overall design of the exhibition was successfully carried out by professional artist Zina Kelebeeva. Autumn is harvest time, and this exhibition is proof of that: the “harvest” was wonderful. I wish to create more and more for the joy of people. I am so pleased to write about the passion and skill of our talented people. Marina Lagunova

Leonid Rosenberg – a legendary man, a soldier of Victory
Leonid Rosenberg – a legendary man, a soldier of Victory When you look at Leonid Borisovich Rosenberg, it’s hard to believe that we are dealing with a man who is 105 years old. Before us is an elegant, well-groomed man with a clear mind and beautiful speech. He speaks calmly, wisely, and passionately. He is a born orator. His words convey the strength of a man who has lived through an entire era. Always impeccably dressed, neatly shaved, combed, and with a subtle scent of good cologne, he exudes a distinctive intelligence and dignity, and behind this outward elegance lies the character of a true soldier—a man of strength, courage, and indomitability. Much of the credit for the care and love he enjoys today goes to his children, Flora and Sasha. They closely monitor their father's health, take care of his diet, and even travel to the Manhattan farmers' market to buy him fresh organic vegetables, fish, and other healthy produce. On the 105th birthday of Leonid Borisovich Rosenberg, president of the American Association of Disabled and Veterans of World War II, the room filled with family, friends, and others who came to pay their respects and express their gratitude. On behalf of Senator Steve Chen, Senior Advisor Ari Kagan presented Leonid Borisovich with a Senate certificate of appreciation and wished him good health and a long life. Assembly Member Alec Brook-Krasny presented the Assembly's certificate to the celebrant and personally congratulated him on this significant occasion. The Association's Executive Secretary, Anna Malkina, presented Leonid Borisovich with a huge postcard signed by veterans. Then she began to sing, and the house filled with music, a wonderful gift for a man who has cherished in his heart for so many decades the feeling of touching the flagpole of the Victory Banner hoisted over the Reichstag. But behind this festive day lay a completely different story. In 1941, Leonid Borisovich went to the front. He bravely fought the Nazis from 1941 to 1945. On the third day of the war, he was seriously wounded in the leg. His life was saved by a horse, which literally pulled him out of mortal danger. After being wounded, he returned to the front, where he reunited with his father, who was also a soldier. Leonid Borisovich served throughout the war, reaching Berlin and marching in the front ranks of the Victory Parade. But the war took his mother, brother, family, friends, fellow soldiers, and millions of others. Therefore, for Leonid Borisovich, Victory Day is more than just a historical date. It is the memory of those who did not live to see it. My daughter and I were once making a film about veterans. Leonid Borisovich's grandson, Emmanuel, was asked, "What is war?" Emmanuel was still a child. But his answer was unforgettable: "War is a boot full of my grandfather's blood and terrible pain." These words of a little boy became a symbol for us of what war is through the eyes of the next generation. Today, Emmanuel has grown up. My daughter and he are now students at American universities. But the memory of the war must not disappear along with the last witnesses, and perhaps through my articles and videos, we are passing on the truth to the next generation. Perhaps that's why Leonid Borisovich asked me to preserve the veterans' recordings, their memories, their stories, and pass them on to others. I heard more than just a wish in this request. I heard a mandate. Perhaps this truly is my mission as a journalist—to record the voices of those who are dwindling in number with each passing year; to preserve their memories while they can still tell us the truth about the war. Because war today is a terrible event, and its lessons must not be forgotten. It's not a paragraph in a textbook. It's a mother waiting for her son. It's a child who will never see his father again. It's a soldier returning to battle after being wounded. It's blood, pain, fear, and irreparable loss. That's why I have always advocated for peace, and I will continue to do so. Today, American television is broadcasting a documentary featuring Leonid Borisovich. Our newspaper has repeatedly featured him and other heroes of the war generation; you can find many of the videos on my YouTube channel, Lagunova News. Our goal is to hear, record, and preserve them. Leonid Borisovich reached Berlin. 81 years have passed since Victory Day. And today, at 105, he continues to march forward—no longer with weapons in hand, but with his memory, his words, and his most important message: never again war. What a blessing that the Almighty granted him so many years of life. This is 105 years of history. 105 years of memory. 105 years of courage. And while Leonid Borisovich speaks, history continues to speak to us. And our duty is to hear it. Marina Lagunova

Clairvoyant Martha in New York - fortune telling and additional help in love affairs
It was even more painful to go through the moment when my squad walked in front of me. When the war started in our land, she and her children were forced to leave the border, and I was left here. For the first time everything was fine between us. We quietly got together, made phone calls to each other, kept in touch. About an hour later I started to note that she was changing. From the very beginning they began to fight some kind of friends, then she began to listen less and less, became cold and distant. And one day she just called me and said that she wanted to be separated. I'm at the police station. I don’t understand what happened, what I’m guilty of, what I did wrong. And then I felt the most intense: “I know someone else.” For me it's a blow. I tried to earn everything I could to turn my family around, using a variety of methods, reaching out to rich people, talking to rich people, but in the middle, I gradually realized that these were not the same people and the wrong way. So I decided to go wild to Martha. And even from the first days of our education, I realized that before me was an ordinary person. Vaughn began to tell such details about my life and our hundreds that she simply could not know from outsiders. I sat and thought about one thing: don’t the stars know? It was then that it first appeared in me that I would decide to turn to the people, as I honestly understand, what is happening. I asked her to help me. Today my squad will entrust me with me again. I am extremely grateful to Martha for her and for those who at that moment, if I had already lost hope, she helped me turn my family around. Tel. +380931150260
