New York Republican Party leaders recently hosted and sponsored by the Brooklyn Republican Party (Brooklyn GOP Chairman Ted Ghorra), at whichNew York Governor candidate Lee Zeldin delivered a welcoming speech to the gathering. Lee Michael Zeldin's relatives arrived, like many of us, from Ukraine in the early 20th century, in the 1900s. And now, in the area where they will vote for him, there are many people with the surname Zeldin, and they can be proud that their namesake at such a young age (born in 1980) has achieved a lot in his life: he served in the US Army , graduated from the University of Albany State University of New York at Albany. And after graduating from Albany Law School in 2003, he became one of the youngest successful lawyers, a doctor of law. Served on active duty in the US Armed Forces for 4 years. He has held various positions in the US Army, including being a military intelligence officer, a prosecutor, and a military master. While serving in the 82nd elite air division in 2006, he was sent to Iraq, along with an infantry battalion of paratroopers. After active duty in 2007, Congressman Zeldin transferred to theArmy Reserve. And in 2010, being elected and re-elected in 2012 to the New York State Senate, he proposed many important bills. Also speaking were Congresswoman Nicole Maliotakis, Alison Exposito for Lt. Governor, Joe Pinion-Us Senate, etc. Candidates for various elective positions were present: Dmitry Kugel, Joseph Tyron and others. It was nice to meet the district leaders of the Republican Party Faina Vasilevskaya andBoris Pinkus, employees of the Board of Election Ray Riley Kings County BOE, Chief, as well as excellent teachers Mara Khanukova and Svetlana Zelinskaya, who train inspectors for work in the elections, and people remember with gratitude their invaluable lessons, and of course there were coordinators who work from 5 am to 10 pm in the elections: Susan Goldstein, Mara Khanukova, Oscar H. Atehortua, Svetlana Zelinskaya and others. It is worth noting that Democrats and Republicans work at the same table in the elections, and this is hard and difficult work, honor and praise to people who take exams in order to constantly improve their skills, for which many thanks to them. The Republicans invited Democrat Kalman Yeger to speak, who delivered a bright speech to the audience, drawing attention to the growth of anti-Semitism and crime, because all those who care are concerned about security issues, the future of our children and, of course, what to do so that talented people do not leave to Florida and other cities and countries, and returned to New York to make our beloved city a better place to live and raise children.

The Journey from Lithuania to New York: The Art of Conscience and Resistance
The Journey from Lithuania to New York: The Art of Conscience and Resistance By what sign does the Almighty choose people to protect the weak? In the halls of the Jewish Museum of New York, soft light falls on the walls where canvases full of anxiety, compassion and inner fire hang. Marina Lagunova
I don’t know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what is most precious to me.
To be honest... I was in complete and utter shit back then. My wife left, slamming the door so hard that everything inside me collapsed. The apartment was empty, the silence was oppressive, I was pacing the room like a cornered wolf. I couldn't work, I sent my friends away, I hated myself. My life was going to hell. At some point, I realized: that's it, I can't handle it anymore. And I went to Matrona. Without hope, without any pretty words... just like a man who has no one else to turn to. I begged her like a man, please help... If there's even a chance to get her back, help. I was already at rock bottom. And, damn it, the last thing I expected happened. A couple of days later, my wife contacted me herself. Not with any show-offs, not with reproaches... she just said... Let's talk. I almost dropped the phone. She came home... And we talked so much that it seemed the walls were shaking: we broke down, screamed, were silent, cried. But damn, it was real. And most importantly... she stayed. The house came to life. I came to life. It was as if someone had shaken us both. I don't know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what was most precious to me. I couldn't have done it without her. Here's her number: +38(063) 022 89 99 Viber/WhatsApp
Silk Road Festival in New York - a triumph of culture and unity For several years now, like many others, I have been looking forward to the Silk Road Festival with particular anticipation. It is organized by a tireless, bright female leader, an outstanding teacher, Alena Badalova, who heads the My Way children's cultural and educational center. This is not just an event - it is a real spiritual holiday that promotes mutual enrichment, spiritual unity and reveals the dazzling palette of cultures of our multinational New York - a beacon of multiculturalism and creativity. The festival reflects the essence of My Way Center's mission - to provide an opportunity for self-expression, creativity, intercultural dialogue - and is a beacon of humanism, respect and cooperation. Despite the serious challenges that preceded the festival, it still took place with triumph. Several months before the event, a building next to the center caught fire, classes were cancelled, and one of the invited groups from California got into a car accident and ended up in the hospital. However, having overcome all the difficulties, the artists took to the stage and amazed the audience with their heartfelt number dedicated to Azerbaijan, causing a storm of applause at the Oceana Theatre. And against all odds, on June 1, 2025, Center My Way organized a grand festival "Silk Road", which became a real ode to the historical and cultural greatness of the ancient trade route that connected East and West, and the route served for centuries for exchange - not only of goods, but also of ideas, art, beliefs, philosophy. An impressive mosaic of national cultures unfolded on the theater stage. Cultural gems from countries such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kalmykia, Buryatia, India, Mongolia, Turkey and others were presented - all those whose history is intertwined with the history of the legendary Silk Road. Showing mutual respect and pride in their heritage, the festival encourages the younger generation to explore the world through the lens of art, history and universal human values. I would like to express special gratitude to the director Alena Badalova and the art director, the famous artist and sculptor Emin Guliyev. Their inexhaustible energy, professionalism and love for children fill this project with life. The creativity and success of the students of Emin Guliyev's art studio have been followed with admiration on social networks for many years. Together with dedicated employees, volunteers and leaders of musical and dance groups, they created a truly magical atmosphere, giving children a chance to perform on the professional stage of the American theater Oceana. I would also like to mention many other leaders of musical groups. These are professional dancers, ballerinas and just beauties, for example, Irina, the head of Irina Dancing Studia and others, from whom it was impossible to take your eyes off. And the way the children performed, there are simply no words! And can you imagine what it is like to bring dozens of child dancers on stage who danced together with professionals? Many children have grown up before my eyes, and I rejoice in their successes as in the victories of my child. I often see the performance of children from the My Way center at various events in the city, and this is always the highlight of the event. And it is not surprising that the efforts of Alena Badalova and the center's staff were recognized with honorary certificates and gratitude from public and political figures: from Assemblymen William Colton, Alec Brooke-Krasny, Senator Stephen Chen, which was presented by the Senator's chief adviser Ari Kagan, on behalf of the Mayor of New York Eric L. Adams, which was presented by the Assistant Commissioner for the Department of Arts and Culture of New York Kendal Henry, and from other government representatives who honored the organizers for their contribution to the development of culture and the education of the younger generation - and, believe me, each certificate is recognition of service to people. Also, the famous lawyer Eva Rakhamimova was awarded an honorary certificate for charitable activities, and it is worth noting that many city events took place thanks to her support. In an interview, Alena Badalova said: “I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the New York City Department of Cultural Afairs in partnership with the City Council, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and New York State Legislature, New York City Mayor Eric L. Adams, The State Committee on Work with Diaspora of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Permanent Mission of Azerbaijan to the United Nations, Diana Bagrationi Foundation, Buryad Mongol United Association, Darina Sanzhieva, Law Office of Yeva Rakhamimov and Oceana Theater. It is their generous support and grant that have made this event possible, enabling us to continue this cherished tradition." Marina Lagunova
