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!

After 20 years of marriage, I thought all was lost...
My husband and I became like neighbors. No heart-to-heart talks, no warmth, constant criticism. I was already considering divorce, but I decided to give it one last try and turned to Lilia. She didn't judge or offer "magic recipes"; she simply saw the real us. She said everything could be fixed if I really wanted it. My husband and I began to change. Slowly, but sincerely. A year has passed, and we are together again. Not just in the same house, but close in spirit. Thank you, Lilia. You see what others cannot see.

Honest clairvoyant, strong gift. Works remotely and helps for real
I live in another city and only communicated with Maria through messenger. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give it a try. She did a diagnosis and said I was under the evil eye and had an energy breakdown. This explained a lot: fatigue, conflicts, the feeling that everything was going wrong. After the rituals, I felt as if a weight had been lifted from my soul. My sleep became calm, my headache went away, and my mood improved. Maria also did a reading for my future. Several of her predictions have already come true. I am completely amazed at how accurate everything is. Maria doesn't promise miracles; she simply does her work honestly and with passion.

Only Galina helped – after 5 “magicians” and disappointments
I contacted many people—online, in person, paying through the nose. They were full of promises: "he'll be back in three days," "the curse will be removed"—and all in vain. I had a knot of intertwined problems: loneliness, financial setbacks, panic attacks. I simply spoke with Galina on WhatsApp—and felt she was the real deal. She didn't promise anything "tomorrow," she immediately said I needed to work. And she worked! Cleansings, castings, protection, rituals. Everything was meaningful, not just "template magic." And the results were there: my state of mind improved, my strength returned, my income improved. She gave me back my power. My destiny. Galina Vishnevskaya's contact information: +74957721881 or WhatsApp — +79687419383. Galina, thank you from the bottom of my heart. People like you are rare.
Martha gave me back my family and my meaning in life! I will be grateful to her for the rest of my days. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I didn't believe that anything could be fixed in my situation. It was the end... I knew it. I had ruined everything myself: I had cheated on someone else, my wife found out, packed her things, took the children, and simply disappeared from my life. All that remained was emptiness, silence, and the feeling that I was the biggest fool in the world. My friends had turned away, the walls at home were cold, and in my head there was only one thing: I had lost everything. In this state, I went to the fortune teller Marfa. Not even with hope... more out of despair. But Marfa said things that only someone with a deeper understanding could know. She didn't judge, didn't pressure, but seemed to look straight into my soul and saw not only my guilt, but also my pain, the regret that I couldn't express to anyone. She said that all was not lost, that my wife's heart was not completely closed. She performed a ritual, gave instructions on what not to do and, conversely, how to proceed. I did everything she said, even though at times it seemed pointless. And then something happened that I'm still afraid to believe. My wife got in touch herself. Then... the first conversation, the first look without hatred, the first tears. And then she came back. With the children. Returned to the house that was once ours, but for me had become an emptiness. Today I understand it was a true miracle. And if anyone says Martha doesn't help... let them first experience what I experienced. She didn't just give me back my wife. She gave me back my family, my meaning in life! I will be grateful to her for the rest of my days. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
When it seems that everything is falling apart, and there is only pain and resentment ahead, a person appears who instills hope. For our family, this person was Lilia. Her support, wisdom and subtle understanding of the situation helped us not only stop on the edge, but also turn to face each other. Thanks to her, we learned to hear again, forgive, speak without reproaches. Lilia removed the heavy negativity that had been accumulating between us for years. Thank her from the bottom of my heart - for our saved family and for the warm light that she brought to our home.
