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.

After my husband cheated on me, I thought I'd never be able to forgive him. But meeting the clairvoyant Lilia changed everything. She helped me see the situation more deeply, not just in terms of pain, but also in terms of spiritual growth. She worked with both my state and his soul—subtly, carefully, and truly. It wasn't easy, but now we're together again. I feel closer than ever. Lilia, you don't just help—you save lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I'm writing to her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).
I never thought this would happen to me. My husband and I had been together for ten years, and then, out of the blue, he just left. Without a fight, without warning, he simply vanished from our lives. He didn't answer my calls, blocked me everywhere, and I learned of the divorce from his lawyer. My heart was broken. I went to every fortune teller, every healer, even a famous witch. No one could really understand what had happened. They just shook their heads and said there was no solution, or that their understanding of the situation was completely unclear. I was in despair until I accidentally stumbled upon the contact information of the magician Alexander. I messaged him on Viber at +380971792179, almost without hope for a miracle. But during the diagnosis, something happened that shocked me to the core. He didn't ask anything, nothing at all! He described our entire situation himself, telling us what happened and when, even naming the person who, it turned out, "advised" my husband to leave. It wasn't just fortune-telling; it was pure clairvoyance. Alexander saw everything, as if he were watching a recording of the events. After the diagnosis, I immediately asked for the work to be done. And then something incredible happened. I thought it would take a long time, but two weeks later, my husband messaged me. He wanted to meet. When he came, it was clear he himself didn't understand what was happening to him. He couldn't explain why he had done what he had done. Gradually, everything got better. We are back together, and our family has become stronger than ever. Alexander gave me my husband and my normal life back—I will be eternally grateful to him. I highly recommend him.
I still remember that period with a lump in my throat... It felt like my life was falling apart. The man I loved with all my heart began to disappear from my life... first, he wrote less often, then he would disappear for days. I tried to understand what was happening, blamed myself, looked for reasons in my every word. And then I heard from friends that he had been seen with another... At that moment, everything inside me broke. It wasn't just pain... it was a feeling of betrayal and discarded, like something unnecessary. I didn't eat, didn't sleep, constantly going over the same thoughts in my head. Why? For what? What did I do wrong? It seemed like I was going crazy from this uncertainty and pain. Out of despair, I turned to the clairvoyant Matrona. It was a step I would never have taken before. But I had nothing left to lose... And you know, she saw everything. Things I didn't even have time to say. She explained why he had distanced himself, what was really going on with him, and gave me hope when there was nothing left inside. After that, everything began to change, slowly but surely. He began to return... cautiously at first, then more and more often. We talked, and much became clear. And step by step, we restored what seemed forever lost. I can't put into words what I felt when he took my hand again... After all this pain, tears, and sleepless nights... it was like a breath of air. And at that moment, I especially clearly understand to whom I owe the fact that I didn't break completely. Matrona didn't just help... she literally pulled me out of a state where I had no strength, no faith, no hope. She supported, guided, and gave me support when everything was crumbling. I am endlessly grateful to Matrona for her help, for her sensitivity and strength. For not abandoning me in the darkest moment of my life. For me, this is not just a person... this is someone who helped me get back not only the relationship, but also myself!!! I recommend +380630228999 Viber/WhatsApp
