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. Marina Lagunova

Sasha and I were together for almost 4 years. Young, in love, making plans. He proposed to me. I was already looking at a wedding dress. And then everything changed dramatically. He started getting angry over little things, getting irritated, leaving in the evenings. I felt like I was losing him, but I couldn’t do anything. At some point, he just said: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to be with you anymore. This is not it.” I fell to my knees. Begged him to stay. He turned away. And left. The worst thing is silence. When you cry into your pillow, and he doesn’t even text. When your phone is silent for days. When you look out the window, hoping that he will appear - but no. Only darkness. I found Lilia by chance, through Instagram. I don’t know why, but I felt: she is my last hope. She immediately said: “Your happiness was stolen from you. But it is yours by fate. If you believe, we will return it.” And so it began. Prayers, working at night, protection, rituals. It was hard. But on the 10th day he wrote: "Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I'm confused. I need you." A week later he came with flowers. He stood on the threshold, with eyes full of tears. Now we are together again. It's like he has become different. Gentle, caring, afraid of losing me. Lily, you changed my life. You pulled me out of hell. You brought back my happiness. Thank you for every prayer.

A tribute about Matrona - the woman who turned my heart and turned my head
A little about Matrona - the woman who turned my heart and turned my man. I never thought that I could be like this... The man with whom we have passed so many rocks at once, changing in rapture... becoming a stranger, cold. And then just drink. Having lost your empty home and heart, break into friends. I burst into tears at night, caught myself in my thoughts, and I can no longer feel the truth. It seemed to me that life was over. For the joy of someone I knew, I ran to Matronya. Honestly, I left through the fog, without hope, just to listen to me. If only I could see those warm, deep eyes that could pierce my soul... I realized that I didn’t come for nothing. Vaughn said that she felt in my homeland that there were no ties between us and the man, he was simply overwhelmed by the dark image and someone else’s influx. The matron performed the ceremony. That evening I cried, and washed away everything that had accumulated in my soul over many months. And then the changes began. Lightness at the beginning, then a ringing sound from the man. His voice is trembling... He said that he can do it, that he wants to straighten everything out. A few days later I turned home. Just taking my hands and whispering: “Probach. I realized that I can’t live without you.” That’s why I’m dear to the Matrona of God. She turned not just a person... she turned the sense of life, warmth, and faith into wonder. Matrona is a person with a heavenly gift, a kind heart and a great soul. Dear Matrono, you have become a dear to me. I thank you for those who turned their love back, for I have already mourned the strength and the light will never go out. You will lose my heart forever. ЇЇ number +380630228999 viber/whatsapp

When the soul finds no peace, when the heart is gripped by anxiety and pain, it's a sign that you need to seek answers. Clairvoyant Lilia helps where reason is powerless and where hope fades with each passing day. Through Tarot cards and the energy of photography, I see the truth that cannot be hidden. Even an old photograph bears the imprint of fate—from it, I can tell what's happening to a person, whether they're alive, whether they love you, whether they remember you, what they're feeling, and what intentions they're hiding. I sense lies, betrayal, estrangement, rivalry, deception—and I can reveal the truth to you, no matter how difficult it may be. If there's a wall of silence between you, if you feel your strength ebbing and your life losing meaning, I will help restore harmony. I will determine whether there is a curse, hex, love spell, or hex, who cast it, and when, and I will cleanse you—removing negativity, restoring energy, aligning your chakras, and providing powerful protection. After the ritual, you'll feel lightness, calm, and a desire to live and believe again. Tarot cards don't lie—they'll show you what lies ahead: whether love is worth fighting for, whether to trust someone, what your path will be, and where the twist of fate is that could change everything. I don't promise miracles—I help create them, because I'm born with power, and through it, I bring light, hope, and love back to people. Clairvoyant Lily. Tarot reading. Photo diagnostics. Negativity removal. I'll help you regain what seemed lost forever. Contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
When I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again.
