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.

Frozen Poetry: French Porcelain in New York – Refinement and Sophistication
Frozen Poetry: French Porcelain in New York – Refinement and Sophistication When we heard about the museum robbery in France, it was exciting to visit the heart of New York, where the first exhibition outside of France dedicated to the famous Sèvres Manufactory opened—the legendary center of porcelain art, where works of timeless beauty are born from snow-white clay.

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.
