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.

Lilia is a person who truly sees more than others. When my family was on the brink of collapse, I turned to her in complete despair. From the very first words, she described our situation as if she had been with us all along. Her recommendations and energy work helped restore trust and harmony. Today, my husband and I are once again living as one soul. Thank you for everything, Lilia! Her Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and regular number (+19297133433)
After a difficult breakup, I contacted Lilia +19297133433
After a difficult breakup, I turned to Lilia. She not only listened to me but also suggested several of her rituals, which she says help harmonize relationships. I followed everything she suggested, and gradually our conversations with my husband became calmer and warmer. Now we're back together, and I feel that the combination of her support and those rituals helped me believe in myself and restore my family. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and she also has a US number: +19297133433.
I came to Lilya in a state of complete devastation. My husband had left, saying he'd "outgrown his family" and "needed something else." I cried every day, lost my appetite, and lost my purpose in life. Lilya listened, felt my pain, and immediately said, "This isn't the end. You've just drifted apart—in spirit. But that can be restored." At first, I didn't believe it. But she worked with me, gave me precise advice, performed an energy cleansing, and helped me get back to myself. Three weeks later, he contacted me himself. A month later, we were sitting at the same table and talking honestly for the first time in a long time. I sincerely believe that without Lilya, none of this would have worked out. Here are her contact details: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
