A teen center, Cteen Brighton Beach - FREE, was recently opened at the synagogue at 2901 Brighton 6 Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11235, which was led for many years by Rabbay Gersh Okunev and Gabbay Isaac Lieberman. The Lubavitcher Rebbe inspired many Russian-speaking Jews by giving one dollar, which is kept by many immigrants as a talisman. His advice became a path to life for many. Cteen Center brings together teenagers through interesting programs to benefit society by harnessing their potential and energy, guiding them in the right direction. The Lubavitcher Rebbe believed in the power of youth and believed in making the teenage years a time of determination and self-discovery. The center's mission is to create a supportive environment in which adolescents can explore themselves, with a focus on positive character development. The Okunev family has done a lot of good. Rabbi Gersh Okunev many years ago officially became an envoy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who told him that a large aliyah was expected from Russia, and he should become a spiritual mentor for Russian-speaking Jews. People who came from the countries of the former CIS, cut off from their national traditions, had difficulty believing that Jewish life could exist in Brighton, and it would not be dangerous. Rabbi Gersh Okunev lived in another area of New York, in the summer he spent the night on the roof of the synagogue, and in the morning he went to the ocean, took people by the hand and brought them to the synagogue. And whenever you come to the synagogue, if you meet Rebbe Gersh Okunev and Gabbay Isaac Lieberman, you will feel welcome. Respected man Isaac Lieberman has been working with Rabbai Gersh Okunev for many years. He is an elder in the synagogue. Many years ago, Rabbi Gersh Okunev introduced Isaac Lieberman to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, from whom, fortunately, he also received one dollar. And from then on, the synagogue in Brighton became a house of learning and meeting. Gabbay Isaac Lieberman is an administrator at the synagogue. He has a lot of work to do. It is worth noting that although Brighton has changed a lot these days, the synagogue on 6 Brighton has a worthy change. In Rebbe Okunev's family, children continue family traditions, and the recently organized center for teenagers is now very much needed. It is headed by his son Menachem Okunev. On the fourth Brighton, Rabbi David Okunev heads the Jewish Center, where many Brighton residents, regardless of religion, receive food. There is Mazel Day School in Brighton - a private school for young children, headed by Rabbai Avrum Okunev and Rebbetz Hani Okunev. So Jewish life in Brighton continues for the People of the Book.

Thank you, Lilia, you gave me back not only my husband, but also my life.
If it weren't for Lilia, I probably would have simply broken down. My husband left me for a younger woman, saying I was "burned out." I was so hurt that I started to lose myself. I contacted Lilia through a friend. From the first conversation, she said his feelings hadn't gone away, he was just under someone else's influence. I didn't believe her, but I agreed to the job. And indeed, he started texting me within three days, and he came back a week later. Now we're back together. He says he's "woken up." I'm crying as I write this. Thank you, Lilia, you've given me back not only my husband, but my life. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
I don't know how to explain it... I'm just crying with happiness. Six months ago, my husband filed for divorce, saying he didn't love me. After the ceremony, everything seemed to turn upside down—he started seeking out meetings himself, asking for forgiveness, saying he missed me. Now we're back together, and every day I thank fate for meeting you. Her contact information is +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
I never thought I'd be in this state. When my loved one left, it was like I was cut off from life. I'd wake up with a lump in my throat. I'd lie down and the silence would be so oppressive I wanted to scream. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I just lived on autopilot. The world turned gray, as if someone had taken all the warmth from it. And then, in this state, I accidentally came across a review about a woman who helps people get out of such pits. I read and cried. And I decided to write to her, although one thing was in my head... Why? It's all over already... She asked for a photo and literally from the first words said something that sent a chill down my spine. Such things are not made up, not guessed. I sat with my phone in my hands and simply couldn't believe that someone truly heard me. I asked her for help, because inside me there was only fear and a broken heart. She said that I was not alone. And that there was a chance. And... something happened that I no longer expected. After a while, he wrote himself. He called himself. His voice was shaking... mine too. And when he stood at the door of my house, I didn’t believe that this was all not a dream. It was like coming back to life. As if I was pulled by the hand from the depths where I had already stopped fighting. I don’t know how to explain everything that happened. But I know for sure: this man became my salvation at that moment, when the world around me collapsed, and I had no more strength.

When I came to Lilia, I was devastated and didn't know how to live without the person I loved by my side. She didn't just listen—she felt my pain and helped me regain my faith that everything could be fixed. Thanks to her support, I learned to talk about my feelings, ask for forgiveness, and cherish every moment with the one I love. Now we are together again, and I thank Lilia every day for giving me hope and showing me the way to the heart of someone dear to me.
