Lighting of Hanukkah candles at the residence of Mayor Eric Adams

New York Mayor Eric Adams treats the Jewish community of New York with respect and attention, understanding how much the community members contribute to the economy, culture and education of the city.
As in previous years, the Minor was lit at the mayor's residence.
Present: Police Commissioner Edward Caban, Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Deputy Mayor Fabien Levy, Commissioner Fred Kreizman, Commissioner Edward Mermelstein, Pastor Gilford Monros, Senior Advisor Andrea Shapiro Davis, Deputy Chief of Staff Menashe Shapiro, and Chief Counsel to the Mayor Lisa Zornberg.
As a representative of the R.Advertising media holding, I am always pleased to see representatives of the Russian-speaking community of New York at events held at the mayor’s residence: famous lawyers Yuri Yaroslavsky, Dmitry Levitsky, Eva Rakhaimova, politicians and businessmen, as well as the President of the Elita Club Leonora Bulychev, representative of the Office of the Auditor Igor Galanter and others.
It’s great that the New York City Hall also employs Russian-speaking employees.
Also among the guests were family members of Israelis held hostage by Hamas since October 7. Those present held posters depicting their loved ones who have been in captivity for more than two months. Members of the City Council standing on the stage also held posters with photographs of the hostages.
“These posters are not just photographs, they are human lives, and we are all waiting with bated breath until they are returned to their family members and loved ones who are here,” Adams said, thanking the families of the hostages for their courage. "Hanukkah tells the story of how light shines in darkness. This wonderful lesson is very important and must be remembered as hate rears its ugly head around the world today. But there is no place for hate in New York, and celebrating Hanukkah shows that no matter who you are, this is where you have equal rights,” the mayor said.
"I want to be very clear to you as the mayor of the city of New York. There is no place for anti-Semitism in New York, and there is no place for hate in New York," Adams said to applause from the packed room.
Adams condemned the rise of anti-Semitism around the world, and in New York after the October 7 attack, he also made clear that Hamas "must be destroyed."
Honorable mentions were given to lawyer and television personality Ebony Williams and Dr. Michael Lomax, president and CEO of the United Negro College Fund.
Ebony Williams, a supporter of the Jewish community, opposes anti-Semitism and hatred and promotes unity among blacks and Jews, because. both communities understand not in words, but in reality, what racism and anti-Semitism are...
Dr. Michael Lomax, President and CEO of the United Negro College Fund, said, “I am grateful to receive this award, and I know my parents would be proud because they instilled in me the values that underpin a strong belief in that blacks and Jews are allies, brothers and sisters in the battle against the twin evils of anti-Semitism and racism."
“The work of Dr. Lomax and Ms. Williams reminds us that we are a city filled with people from every corner of the globe. And no matter our differences, our communities will always come together to help and protect our fellow New Yorkers. It is my pleasure to present the Shine A Light Civil Courage Award to Dr. Michael Lomax and Ebony Williams,” said Eric Adams.

She didn’t just tell my family, she told me, phone number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)

I’ve been thinking for a long time that I could write this... If the man went to bed, simply closing the doors behind him and depriving me and my three small children, I stopped sleeping. The house became empty, and everything seemed important again. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep, I marveled at my children and didn’t understand how to live in the future. When I came to Varya’s molfarka, I wasn’t human... for a moment. I sat in front of her, unable to speak the desired word. My breasts were squeezed so hard that I felt like I was dying. And it seemed to me that no one in the world would be able to understand everything about me. Ale Varya did not need to explain anything. She marveled at me and appreciated everything I had experienced. She herself began to talk about those that lie in my soul, about my fears, images, about the empty space that sat in the middle. I heard her and cried like I had never cried in my life. Varya performed her rituals, but most of all she gave me what no one could give: see that I am not evil, that you can still fight for your life, for your family, for myself. And then things happened that I never dared to believe... The man began to write. Then come. Crying, saying that I had received a terrible mercy, that nothing had hit me and I was tired of doing everything differently. When I turned back home, when the children hugged him again, I stood there and couldn’t believe that this was true. I don’t know what It helped... the rituals, the words, the energy and the light that she turns to people. But I know one thing for sure: if it weren’t for Varya, I wouldn’t have gotten out of that hole. She didn’t just tell my family, she told me, phone number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
 

I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help me—she saved the most precious thing I had.

When my life was falling apart and my heart was breaking with pain and despair, I came to Varya, the molfarka, as my last hope. The world around me seemed to have gone dark, my wife had become distant, our house was empty. It seemed as if love was gone forever. Varya greeted me calmly, with that quiet strength that can be felt even in silence. She stared for a long time into the crackling fire in her hut, as if she saw something I couldn't comprehend. With her first words, peace entered me, and with the first rituals, a feeling that everything could still be restored. Several days passed, and it was as if fate itself had turned its face. My wife suddenly began to seek communication, open up, and remember the good times. A thread of warmth reappeared between us, and soon, true intimacy. The shadows of the past dissipated, and the connection we had once lost was reborn stronger, purer, more honest. I still can't explain how it happened. But it was after meeting Varya that my family found a second life. Her wisdom, strength, and ability to listen to a person's soul made the impossible possible. I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help—she saved what was most precious to me. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)

I express my deep gratitude to the magician Alexander for his professionalism and effective assistance. His number is +380971792179.

I express my deep gratitude to the magician Alexander for his professionalism and effective assistance. His number is +380971792179. When I contacted him, I was living in Germany and couldn't come to an in-person meeting. I messaged him on WhatsApp. Alexander understood my situation – he consulted with me and performed the work remotely. This was no problem for him. He is a compassionate and kind person. A true clairvoyant and a powerful practitioner with a gift from a Higher Power. Even talking to him makes you feel better. The work he does is very effective. I literally felt it even from a distance. But most importantly, his abilities helped me solve a number of problems and bring my husband back. I recommend the magician Alexander to anyone seeking qualified and effective help.
