THE BRAINCHILD OF YAKOV FRIEDMAN AND THE RABBAYEV OKUNEVS
THE BRAINCHILD OF YAKOV FRIEDMAN AND THE RABBAYEV OKUNEVS It has been over 50 years since the Lubavitcher Rebbe proposed, and with God's help, oh miracle, the Minors are lit in the streets and squares. The Russian-speaking Jewish community living on West 5 and Brighton is pleased to welcome the organizers of the ceremonial lighting of the Chanukiah, Rabbai 1'ersh Okunev and his nephew Rabbai David Okunev. The Okunev family of religious leaders does a lot of good to ensure that Jewish life continues on West 5. Ari Kagan, a worthy politician, spoke and congratulated everyone present on the holiday. More than 40 years ago we started lighting the Minorah on Brighton, and our nine-meter beauty Minorah - a symbol of the Victory of Light over darkness - is already more than 25 years old. This is the only non-detachable, permanently installed Minorah in the USA, near the Chase Bank it was made by the talented architect Jacob Friedman. And yesterday another creation of Jacob Friedman appeared - the second Chanukiah on 4 Brighton, near the Western Wall. He is an immigrant from Odessa, a Holocaust survivor. For over 25 years, he has been volunteering to equip synagogues with technical equipment. For example, he made the largest Sukkah for the Sukkot holiday in the synagogue, without a single nail. He also writes beautiful poetry. Yes, the Jewish people give birth to such talented people!
During the lighting of Minora, dozens of Jews and non-Jews with their children and grandchildren have been coming to Minora for many years to hear music and try doughnuts. It is worth noting that the Rabbai are treated with great respect in the area. They can support in difficult times, rejoice in successes, are happy when they get married, get married, and have children. The holiday of light and fires has arrived, designed to give a miracle and warm the hearts of believers. The day when hundreds of candles are lit and the Jewish people pay tribute to the events that happened many centuries ago. In the evenings, the lights lit on many windowsills in New York remind us: 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 to the world.
Let the holiday of light and goodness bring light, love and warmth into your hearts.

Oh, girls, if you only knew what I went through! In the fashion world, the glitz and glamour often hide such loneliness, such uncertainty in my personal life. It seems there are so many men around, but none of them are right... I was completely desperate, thinking I'd keep swapping one man for another, until I turned to Zakhar for help. I'd heard about him from reliable sources, but, frankly, I hesitated for a long time. And from our first conversation, I realized this man wasn't like other fortune tellers or magicians. He didn't promise mountains of gold; he saw my soul, my fears, my true desires, and many details no one else could know. Zakhar pinpointed the root causes of my personal problems and offered concrete solutions. His approach was not just professional but also deeply personal. He focused on activating my inner potential and removing the barriers that were preventing me from finding the right partner. The results were immediate. Soon after we began working together, I met a man with whom I not only built a strong and happy relationship but also started a family. My husband is reliable, kind, and understanding; with him, I feel truly loved and protected. If you, like me, are tired of disappointments and are looking for true happiness, I highly recommend contacting Zakhar. He's not just a magician, he's a true wizard who restored my faith in love and gave me a true fairy tale! Write or call Zakhar at +380954248510
