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.

Thank you, Lilia, for your sensitive heart and professionalism!
When I first contacted Lilia, I was at the brink of despair—my husband had left, and I didn't know how to restore our relationship. Lilia listened carefully, performed a ritual, and gave specific recommendations. Within just a few weeks, we began to rebuild trust and communication. Now we're back together, and our marriage is stronger than ever. Thank you, Lilia, for your compassionate heart and professionalism! I'm contacting her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).
Honestly, I don't even know where to begin... I didn't believe in fortune tellers or clairvoyants for a long time, but I came to Lilia in complete despair. My relationship was completely ruined—my man left me for another woman, and I found out he really had been bewitched by a rival. I was broken, I thought it was the end. Lilia didn't promise "overnight miracles," but she said everything could be fixed. She removed the negativity from him, cleansed us both, set up powerful protection, and most importantly, brought back our feelings. Our relationship was restored right before our eyes, and now we're preparing for the wedding. It's strange to even say, but I'm actually getting married—something I've dreamed of for so many years. This isn't an advertisement, not a request—I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for real help, not just pretty words. She's one of the few who truly sees, knows, and does. Her contact phone number is +380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433
Lilia is a true miracle! Thanks to her strength and love, our marriage is filled with light and warmth again. She managed to awaken the best feelings in my husband and bring happiness back to our home. This is a story of true inspiration and the strength of a woman's heart. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
I hesitated for a long time to write this review... Every time I recall what was happening in our family before meeting Varya, the molfarka, my heart aches with pain. My husband and I were together for almost 12 years, and our love once seemed unbreakable. But over the years, everything began to crumble—fights, misunderstandings, coldness. He began to distance himself, and silence and resentment reigned in the house. I felt love fading, as if someone was sucking the life out of us. Out of desperation, I turned to Varya; a friend who had miraculously brought her husband back after he cheated on me told me about her. I didn't really believe it, but a last spark of hope burned within me. Varya listened to me with such attention, as if she understood the pain in my heart. She said, "Your family has a light; it just needs to be rekindled." After her work, strange but bright changes began. My husband suddenly asked to talk. We sat in the kitchen until morning, crying, remembering how we once vowed to be together no matter what. It was as if someone had lifted a heavy blanket from us. Laughter echoed in the house again, and that warm look I hadn't seen in years appeared in my husband's eyes. I don't know how Varya does it—with prayers, herbs, or some ancient power—but I know one thing for sure: she brought love back to our home. She brought back what I thought was lost forever. Varya isn't just a molfarka. She's a savior of broken hearts. Thank her for giving our family a second chance. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
