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 when I was on the verge of divorce.
I contacted Lilya when I was on the brink of divorce. She helped me see the situation differently, advised me on how to handle it, and what steps to take. I didn't believe it would work, but the result exceeded my expectations—my husband came back. I'm grateful for her support and helpful advice. Her contact information is +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) and +19297133433 (regular call).
If you think Lilia is just guessing, you're wrong. It's much deeper. It's as if she takes my hand and leads me through the fog of pain, anger, and resentment. I lost touch with my wife. We were like neighbors. Constant reproaches, silence. I was already thinking about leaving. But someone recommended Lilia to me. She helped me listen to my wife and understand that we still have a chance. We both changed after working with her. Now we have plans together again, even the romance has returned. I didn't expect it. And I'm grateful. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
Sometimes help comes when you least expect it. We were exhausted, tired of fighting, each in our own pain. Lilya appeared at that very moment and gently, with love, began to lead us back to each other. Without pressure, without judgment. It was as if she dissolved what stood between us. We learned to hear. To understand. To be close, and not just to live close. Now there is silence in our house - not from the cold, but from the world. And this is her great merit. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
If you're reading this, it means you, like me, are searching for hope. I lost the man I loved due to misunderstandings and interference. Lilia didn't just bring him back; she changed my life. With her help, I understood why everything happened and how to fix it. He came back on his own, with confession and remorse. And now I know love can be restored if you trust with your heart. Thank you, Lilia, you are my guardian angel. WhatsApp/Viber: +380638055486 USA/Canada: +19297133433
I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help me—she saved the most precious thing I had.
When my life was falling apart and my heart was breaking with pain and despair, I came to Varya, the molfarka, as my last hope. The world around me seemed to have gone dark, my wife had become distant, our house was empty. It seemed as if love was gone forever. Varya greeted me calmly, with that quiet strength that can be felt even in silence. She stared for a long time into the crackling fire in her hut, as if she saw something I couldn't comprehend. With her first words, peace entered me, and with the first rituals, a feeling that everything could still be restored. Several days passed, and it was as if fate itself had turned its face. My wife suddenly began to seek communication, open up, and remember the good times. A thread of warmth reappeared between us, and soon, true intimacy. The shadows of the past dissipated, and the connection we had once lost was reborn stronger, purer, more honest. I still can't explain how it happened. But it was after meeting Varya that my family found a second life. Her wisdom, strength, and ability to listen to a person's soul made the impossible possible. I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help—she saved what was most precious to me. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
