And in Brighton Chanukiah shines brightly 50 years have passed since the Lubavitcher Rebbe proposed, and with God’s help, this miracle happened, Menorahs began to be lit in the streets and squares. 40 years ago we began lighting the Menorah in Brighton, and our nine-meter-tall beautiful Menorah, the symbol of the victory of light over darkness, is already 25 years old. The only non-removable, permanently installed Menorah in the United States, near CHASE BANK, was made by the talented architect Jacob Friedman. The Menorah has gas lamps and lasts eight days, which is very important, especially during this difficult time for Israel, the United States and Jews around the world. As Gabbay Isaac Lieberman said: “Yes, we are a small but invincible people, and our faith helps us.” The speeches of politicians were greeted with great interest and warmth. Ari Kagan noted in his speech: “We are a peace-loving people, but we must be able to defend ourselves, especially if terrorists come into the house to kill, and then demand not to give them change, then this is unacceptable.” This wonderful idea of installing a Menorah in Brighton was realized thanks to the talented architect Yakov Friedman, a Holocaust survivor. For more than 25 years, he has been involved as a volunteer in the reconstruction, development and technical equipment of the synagogue. For example, he made the largest Sukkah, without a single nail, for the Sukkot holiday in the synagogue. He also writes beautiful poetry. Yes, the Jewish people produce such talented people! Regarding the Great Hanukkiah project, Yakov is simultaneously its author, architect, designer and performer. He made all the calculations for the stability of the Menorah in our difficult climate zone. During the lighting of the Menorah, dozens of people with children and grandchildren come to the Menorah in Brighton, next to the CHASE bank, to hear music and try donuts. And how nice it was to see with what respect and love the parishioners of the synagogue spoke about the FREE synagogue on 6th Brighton, what respect the rabbis Hirsh Okunev and Aizik Lieberman enjoyed. Synagogue parishioners told what kind-hearted people Rabbis Hirsh Okunev and Aizik Liberman were, their children and family members. How they can support us in difficult times, how they remember their names, how they greet us in the synagogue, shake hands, how they rejoice at success, how happy they are when they get married, get married and have our children. It was nice to meet my friends: Evgeny Lekakh, Karina Polonskaya, Khaya Lipovetskaya, it’s impossible to list all my brothers and sisters who do a lot to preserve the history of our people. It has long been known that the Lord sends blessings to Jews who follow his commandments. So the Menorah will shine all 8 holiday days. It is worth noting the great work done by David Okunev, the son of Rebbe Hirsh Okunev, who is doing everything possible to ensure that the lamps on the Menorah work well, given the difficult climatic conditions. In the evenings, the lights of Hanukkah remind you: no matter how dark and scary it is around, there will always be that one treasured jug, a clean vessel with oil. And a miracle will happen and bring warmth and kindness into the world. As always, Rebbe Hirsh Okunev handed out dollars to the children. The children stood in anticipation of a miracle and joyfully, clutching a dollar from the rebbe in their hands, ran to their parents, who, holding them close, kissed their children and grandchildren. It's unforgettable! Hanukkah Gelt, many adults remember when recalling their childhood. No one has forgotten that sweet donuts are an integral symbol of the holiday. And of course they were treated to children and adults. Many thanks to the police who protected us. I thank the respected Asher Danilov for the wonderful real donuts made in Brighton at the Health is Well store, at 227 Brighton Beach Ave., which he treated my friends too. May the holiday of light and goodness bring light, love and warmth to your hearts!

Meeting with heroes - legendary veterans It was not just an event - it was a day filled with the light of memory, love and endless gratitude, eyes filled with tears and souls - with pride. We gathered to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory and bow our heads before those who achieved it - veterans of the Second World War. They are all from 97 to 103 years old. They came to remember. And we - to remember. Thank you. For the Victory. For life. For this day. Marina Lagunova
I can't forget that evening. He came with a cold face, didn't even look up: "Dasha, I don't want to be with you anymore. I've decided everything." 3 years together. We talked about children, about a house outside the city, about the future. I thought we were "the ones". But he packed his things and left. And didn't look back. I lay on the floor and howled. It seemed to me that I had died, only my body remained. Everything inside burned. A week later, I found out that he was with another. And then I simply stopped being myself. Nothing helped. Neither conversations nor advice. Everyone said: "Forget, let go." But how can you forget someone you feel with every cell? I came across Lilia by chance. Or was it fate... She looked at my photo and said: "He didn't just leave. He's lost his way. But if you want, I'll help you bring him back." It was scary. But I agreed. Because there was nothing left to lose. We performed 3 rituals. We prayed. I followed every detail. I was afraid of making a mistake. And then one day he wrote. At first simply: "How are you?" Then: "I dream of you every night." And then he came. He stood on the threshold, as if lost: "I don't understand what happened. As if I woke up. Bring me back." And I did. With Lilia's help. We are together again. He doesn't let go of my hand for a second. He says that he won't make such a mistake a second time. Lilia, you are not just a clairvoyant. You saved my soul. Thank you for everything.

I couldn't have done it without Lily. She brought back my love and family.
I don't know how to explain it. Everything inside me collapsed when my husband said he needed "some space." I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I just walked around the house and listened to the silence. On a friend's advice, I turned to Lily. And the way she spoke... it was as if she saw not only my pain but also what could happen next. She asked me to follow her recommendations for a few days—just calm down, take care of myself, stop living in fear. A week later, my husband unexpectedly arrived. He said, "I felt like I was making a mistake." I still don't understand how it all happened. But one thing is for sure: I couldn't have done it without Lily. She brought my love and family back. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for a regular call).
Only Lilia, from the first word, felt what I was going through.
When I was cheated on, I thought it was over, period. My heart was broken, my soul empty. I couldn't talk to anyone, no one understood. Only Lilia understood what I was going through from the first word. She said things only he and I knew. It was amazing... and scary. But most importantly, she helped me understand why it happened and how to survive it. Thanks to her wise advice and energy work, our marriage not only survived, but became stronger. My husband changed. I changed. We started living anew. And all this is thanks to you, Lilia. You truly have a gift! I write to her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433)
I can highly recommend Andriya to all +380932169225
I have been wondering about this process for a long time, but my story, perhaps, can help someone. The man and I were over ten rocks at a time, wooing our daughter, planning for the next day. And then it’s just fun. No explanation, no scandals. Just by moving to another woman. It was such a strong blow that I almost fainted. Donka fed steadily, that’s all, but I didn’t know what the truth was. My friends wanted to let me go, to find the best. But I knew that we were one and the same, and I didn’t want to just give up. On my way out, I spent time reading about Andriy’s molfar. I wrote to the number +380932169225 on Viber and asked for a consultation. At the hour of prayer, Andriy did not eat anything. I myself described the circumstances that led to the rupture, and also named some special moments that I didn’t tell anyone about. This impressed me and transformed me into my unique gift. It's time for magical rituals to renew the bond between me and my boyfriend. You will also need to give me specific instructions about what you need to do at home. A week and a decade have passed. And then there’s a ding. A man standing in front of the door with a bouquet of flowers. There has been destruction and torment. Having said that Kohati never blamed me, but life without us was hell. He turned around. I don’t know how it’s said, but it’s said like it’s an old man. Exactly what we discussed with Andriy. Its authenticity, sensitivity and, first of all, the real power of its magical gift, deserve trust and respect. I can highly recommend Andriy to everyone.
