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!

Magician Zakhar saved my family when I had no hope left for my wife's return. We'd been through a lot during our eight years of marriage, but our mutual feelings and commitment to understanding each other had always been our strength as a couple. Until one time. A time that almost became our family's last. It all started when misunderstandings had been building up for two or three months before our separation. There was tension and misunderstandings, but nothing critical. Then, one evening, I saw before me what felt like a stranger, not my beloved, looking at me with empty, cold, and indifferent eyes. She was completely emotionless and simply said she was leaving. She packed her things, called a taxi, and ran up the stairs without waiting for the elevator. As she left, she added that she wouldn't talk to me about anything except divorce. I was left alone in the apartment, surrounded by deafening silence. Then followed agonizing weeks of trying to write, call, and somehow communicate and find common ground. But she wouldn't communicate and only dryly said that everything was finally decided—only divorce. No argument worked. I was literally devastated and didn't know what to do. Feeling powerless, I began looking for unconventional solutions. I decided to turn to magic, to at least understand what had happened and not lose the chance to save my family. That's how I found the magician Zakhar's number +380954248510 and arranged for him to look into my situation and what could be done. I didn't have to tell him anything. Zakhar saw everything himself and described in detail what happened and how. He even described the scene of the breakup. It was as if he was standing there at that moment. He explained the options, and I asked him to help me. The work lasted about a month in total. Zakhar kept me updated on the process and gave me instructions on what would happen literally day by day. How happy I was when my wife called me for the first time, without any reason, and asked how I was doing! Even though it was a short conversation, my hopes soared. And then, one evening, closer to the time I'd agreed upon with Zakhar, what I'd been waiting for happened. Returning home, I saw the light in our apartment and my beloved's shadow on the curtains. She was watering the flowers on the windowsill. My heart literally started pounding, and I couldn't believe my happiness! I instantly flew to the apartment, started opening the door, and my wife met me at the threshold. Her eyes were full of love and warmth, tears and words about how she'd missed me terribly, how she'd thought about me, and how she realized she couldn't give up... It literally lifted me to seventh heaven! For a couple of weeks afterward, my wife and I occasionally discussed certain things to better understand each other and avoid hurting each other in the future. But the main thing was that my beloved was already there. Several years have passed since then, and my wife and I have not lost our understanding. I still communicate with Zakhar periodically and sometimes contact him about business matters.

It's especially rewarding to talk about those who came to America as children and eventually became recognized professionals—professors, producers, and creators of exciting projects. Marina Lagunova
Powerful clairvoyant Daria +1 646 377 93 79: real reviews about fortune telling, returning loved ones, and clearing away negativity
I'll write my review too, in case anyone else is going through the same hardships I did. When the man I loved left me, I thought my life was over. I cried day and night, not knowing how to get him back or what to do next. I came to Daria on a recommendation. During a Tarot reading, Daria laid everything out and opened my eyes to the true reasons for his departure (the homewrecker was at work there). Daria gently lifted all the negativity, helped me lift the weight off my soul, and cope with nervous ailments. With her help, I was able to get my beloved back—he came to me himself to talk about reconciliation! All her predictions for the future came true exactly to the month. I recommend her wholeheartedly! I contacted her at +16463779379 (Viber / WhatsApp).
