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.

My name is Evgeniy, and I never thought I'd be writing a letter like this. Just a few days ago, our life seemed normal. My beloved wife, Lara, our little daughter, Sophie, and I were cozying up in our apartment one evening, reading a bedtime story and making plans for the weekend. Everything changed in an instant. I was awakened by the sharp, acrid smell of burning. I peered out of the bedroom and went cold: the entire hallway was filled with black, choking smoke, billowing from the apartment next door. My heart started pounding. "Lara, there's a fire! Run!" I screamed. We grabbed our frightened, crying Sophie in our arms and practically ran out of the apartment in our pajamas. We didn't have a second to grab documents, phones, Sophie's favorite teddy bear, or wedding photos. We ran, saving only what was most precious—our lives. We stood in the cold street, and I hugged my shivering girls, watching the fire consume our living room. That was the moment we realized: everything was gone. Absolutely everything. Sophie's toys, my laptop with my work, Lara's books, all our clothes—our entire life, piece by piece, turned to ashes. Now we have nothing. We live in temporary housing, wearing other people's clothes. Our little Sophie still can't sleep at night; she has nightmares. Lara and I are trying to be strong, but it's really hard for us. That's why I, Evgeniy, am turning to you. We desperately need your help just to survive and, little by little, start over. Any support from you is more than just money; it's a breath of fresh air and hope for my family that we can overcome this nightmare. Please, don't stand by. Your help is the only support we have right now. I will indicate an electronic wallet for transferring funds Usdt-TRC20: TMrQqrbsahWzGg93knk42cVcVSKTL7kNcu With endless gratitude, Evgeny, Larisa and Sophie.
I initially consulted her about finances—I was constantly losing money, in debt, and facing setbacks. She said my money channel was blocked and helped me "open" it. A week later, I received the first good news. Then more. Now I feel as if a bad streak has given way to a good one. I consult with her regularly now—not just about money, but about my life in general. She's a very strong person. Contact number: +1 (646) 377-9379.

I'd like to share my experience with clairvoyant Emelie. I consulted her remotely, and she very accurately explained what was happening in my life and what the future held for me. Emelie helped me remove all the negativity and blocks that were preventing me from living a peaceful life. Afterwards, everything somehow became easier and new: I got a good job, met a man I'm happy with, and I simply feel harmony and self-confidence. All this without intimidation, only pure white magic and professional work. Ladies, if you need help, don't hesitate to contact her via Viber or WhatsApp: +380500147707.
Since I had first become the master of Matrona, my life was in complete disarray. My man was pishov, the hundred-year-olds were screaming, and I didn’t know what to do. Everything seemed hopeless, but I couldn’t give up... I really loved him and wanted to turn the family around. Matrona did not cherish Mitt’s miracles, but her words had a new power and solemnity. She immediately recognized that there were deep feelings between us, and also pointed out the moments that led to discord in our joints. The fortune teller explained that it is necessary to work not only on the external environment, but also on oneself, in order to be ready for renewed harmony. The matron recommended a number of rituals to renew the energy in our homeland. She gave me specific reasons for what I needed to do to clear the space and improve the emotional connections. Forgive the rituals, but they have special power. Every day I felt how the atmosphere in the house was changing: new sensations appeared, and the man and I began to settle down one after another with the same understanding. The man turned around. It didn’t happen, but after a dozen hours, he himself began to show his gratitude, turned around, and started looking for ways to renew our socks. Now we are happy again, and I am grateful to Matrona for her help. She not only turned me around, but she taught me important lessons about love, patience and trust. If not, I don’t know how everything would have turned out. Now I can honestly say that her help was not just esoteric, but real support, which helped save our family. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for harmony and renewal of love to your life! ЇЇ number +380630228999 viber/whatsapp
