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.

I turned to Lilya at a time when my husband and I no longer had conversations, hugs, or plans. We simply lived side by side, like strangers. There were betrayals, tears, despair. I didn't know why I woke up in the morning. Lilya became a light for me. She didn't force anything, didn't make false promises. She simply said, "You can still change everything." After a few sessions, the situation began to change. I changed. My husband began to look at me differently. We began to build a home again, not tear it down. Thank you, Lilya. You came at the right time. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
Feedback about a clairvoyant who changed my life. I thought for a long time whether to write this review. Not because I doubt it — on the contrary, the result exceeded all my expectations. It’s just very personal. But perhaps my words will help those who are now in the same state I once was. Our family was on the verge of collapse. Constant quarrels, misunderstandings, coldness and alienation... It seemed as if some invisible fog had settled in the house — sticky, heavy, making it difficult to breathe. My husband and I became strangers, the children felt tense, and I woke up every morning with a feeling of hopelessness. Nothing helped: neither conversations, nor advice from loved ones, nor psychologists. On the advice of a friend, I turned to clairvoyant Alexandra. At first I was skeptical — can anyone “remove negativity” and “save a family”? But at that moment I was ready to try everything. From the first minutes of communication, I felt incredible warmth. She didn't ask unnecessary questions... she spoke. And every word she said was spot on. As if she saw not only my life, but also my soul. She accurately described where the discord came from, who and what influences our family, what energetic traces remained in the house, and even mentioned people I had long forgotten, but who had once caused harm. The work was deep, sometimes difficult, but after each session I felt better. The house seemed to "breathe", it became lighter, calmer. My husband became softer, we began to talk, look at each other with warmth. Even the children began to get sick less often and laugh more often - I'm not kidding. The atmosphere changed completely. As if a black veil had been removed that had covered the sun for a long time. Now, looking back, I understand how important this decision was - to turn to Alexandra for help. Not to a psychologist, not to a friend, not to yourself in the mirror with tears in your eyes, but to a person who sees more, deeper, more subtly. Thank you Alexandra for preserving my family, my inner peace and faith in goodness. Sometimes miracles happen. You just need not to be afraid to believe in them! I will leave her number +38 (095) 662 16 39 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram

Lily gave me back not only my husband, but also the reason to breathe.
I walked to Lilia with trembling hands, afraid to believe that anything could change. But she looked at me as if she saw all my pain at once. The rituals she performed seemed to lift a heavy layer of despair from me. And suddenly, my husband appeared at the door. He stood there, silent, and then said, “I feel bad without you. I tried to forget, but it didn’t work.” I can’t forget that moment. Lilia gave me back not only my husband, but also the reason to breathe. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
New York Governor's Proposed Budget Given the confusing press coverage, I felt it was my duty to travel to Manhattan early this morning for the presentation to hear for myself what Governor Kathy Hochul was proposing. Marina Lagunova
