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 didn't believe in all this before—fortune-telling, rites, rituals... Until I faced tragedy myself. My husband left for another woman, simply packed his things and left. My world collapsed. I cried at night, couldn't eat or sleep. A friend gave me Marfa's number. I called—and from the first minute I felt that I was in the presence of a person with a true gift. She told me everything as it happened and performed a ritual to bring back my beloved. Two weeks later, he came of his own accord! He asked for forgiveness, saying that something "fell from his eyes." Now we live in perfect harmony, and every day I thank fate for meeting Marfa. Thank you, my dear, you really help people!

I'm writing these lines with tears in my eyes... My husband was leaving. Cold, pain, emptiness... I didn't know how to live on. My heart was breaking. Everything we'd built over the years was crumbling in an instant. And then Varechka came into my life. Warm, bright, genuine. She immediately saw everything without words, without lengthy explanations. She said, "I'll help, just believe me." She performed a ritual, cleared my energy, suggested what to do, what words to say, how to ask fate for forgiveness... And a miracle happened. My husband came back himself. He said it was as if he'd woken up after a long sleep, that he understood everything and never wanted to lose his family again. I cried with happiness. Varechka saved more than just our marriage... she brought back love, home, and faith in miracles. Thank you, my dear, for being there. Here's her number: +38(063)2574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)

Exhibition of children's drawings for Mother's Day
Exhibition of children's drawings for Mother's Day Every spring brings a special holiday - Mother's Day. It is not just a date on the calendar, but a bright and touching reason to think: how often do we tell our mothers about love, thank them for their boundless care and affection? Or at least just remember... Marina Lagunova
