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

Frozen Poetry: French Porcelain in New York – Refinement and Sophistication
Frozen Poetry: French Porcelain in New York – Refinement and Sophistication When we heard about the museum robbery in France, it was exciting to visit the heart of New York, where the first exhibition outside of France dedicated to the famous Sèvres Manufactory opened—the legendary center of porcelain art, where works of timeless beauty are born from snow-white clay. Marina Lagunova
IT HAPPENS THAT YOU RUN FOR HELP TO THE POWERS OF MAGIC... AND YOU WANT TO LOOK INTO THE FUTURE... I HAD A SITUATION LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE AND I DECIDED TO FIND A GOOD PERSON. TO BE HONEST, I COULDN'T SAY AT FIRST - A bunch of charlatans, swindlers, so-called "fortune tellers". But then, right here, I came across one girl who wrote a thank you to the fortune teller... I also decided and called. Her name is Lilia... She is from another city. She said that she receives remotely. In general, from my photo, she spoke about my past. She said that the man left me. And so it was. We loved each other, but he took no reason and left for another. Lilia was able to bring him back to me in a short time. She helped me with illness...I RECOMMEND LILICHKA TO EVERYONE HERE!!! I am writing her contacts WhatsApp +380 93 266 5520, USA +19297133433
A bird is also a bird of peace! There are women who do extraordinary things for their communities, especially during challenging times in New York City. Marina Lagunova
I'm grateful to Lilia not only for bringing my husband back, but also for helping me find confidence, strength, and inner peace. She's more than just a clairvoyant.
I contacted Lilia during a very difficult time in my life. My husband left our family—one day, he simply said he "stopped feeling" and packed his things. I couldn't believe that everything we'd built over the years was falling apart so easily. We didn't speak for almost a month, he ignored my messages, and then I found out he had someone else. On the advice of a close friend, I decided to contact Lilia. At first, I didn't know what to expect, but already during the first consultation, she told me things no one else knew—details of our relationship, my state, my inner fears. It was astounding. Lilia performed an energy cleansing, removing the negativity that, according to her, surrounded us, and performed a ritual to restore connection. She also gave me recommendations on how to behave, how to work on myself, and which words are important. Ten days later, my husband contacted me himself. At first, just a message. Then a meeting. And three weeks later, he came home. Now we are together, and I feel that he has truly rethought a lot. I'm grateful to Lilia not only for bringing my husband back, but also for helping me find confidence, strength, and inner peace. She's more than just a clairvoyant. She's a guide who works with the soul. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
