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!

A center where cutting-edge research and compassion are inseparable and stronger than diagnosis.
A center where cutting-edge research and compassion are inseparable and stronger than diagnosis. During the pre-holiday period, as a journalist for the newspaper "R.Reklama," I went to congratulate the staff and patients of the Maimonides Cancer Center in Brooklyn. Marina Lagunova
My wife, who is twenty years younger than me, left the family with our daughter, succumbing to pressure from her mother. This was my second marriage, and unfortunately, my mother-in-law was categorically opposed to our relationship from the start. The situation seemed hopeless. Just when I had lost all hope, I turned to the magician Alexander. I sent him a WhatsApp message at +380971792179 and arranged for a diagnosis. Alexander didn't ask any questions and asked me not to reveal anything. I was so impressed when he told me everything, right down to names and other details no one else could know! I literally begged him to help me. Alexander agreed to carry out the necessary work. And the results were immediate. Less than a month later, my wife returned to me. I remember how she walked into the house, put down her bag, and our daughter ran to me as fast as she could and hugged me tightly. And at that moment, I knew I had won. And then came another surprise. My mother-in-law, who constantly turned my wife against me, suddenly reversed her behavior and gave us an apartment, which we now rent out. She said we deserved happiness and wanted to make amends, and the extra rent wouldn't hurt. I'm still in shock and can't wrap my head around it. Alexander truly works miracles! That's why I recommend everyone contact him if they need help.
After Lily's help, my husband came back to me as if by magic. I still don't believe that it is possible. But it happened. Low bow to you! Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +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. I recommend a phone number for contact (+380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, also another US number +19297133433
When I turned to Lilia, my family was on the brink of falling apart. My husband and I barely spoke, there were constant fights, resentments, and complete estrangement. I was on edge. But Lilia immediately sensed the root of the problem. She didn't just look at cards or "predict" something; she spoke to my soul. After the first consultation, I left feeling like everything could still be saved. And after a few sessions with Lilia, my husband and I reconnected. We began to hear each other. And most importantly, I felt love returning. Thank you, Lilia, from the bottom of my heart. You saved my family. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
