The Marks Hall of JCH of Benson-hurst hosted a great event under the leadership of General Manager Alex Budnitsky - a joint celebration of Jewish Heritage Month and Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This became a new stage in the formation of strong ties and successful development of our society. The Jewish, East Asian, and South Asian communities have much in common, especially in terms of their experiences and challenges. Issues of safety, education, housing and work are common to all of us. These communities have made tremendous contributions to New York, the United States and the world, and that should always be a source of pride and celebration. "Asian Americans and Jewish Americans are not new to America. They helped build our great country and our great city. We look forward to highlighting our rich culture and sharing our values. We hope this new tradition will continue for many years to come." years,” said JCRC-NY CEO Mark Treyger. “I am extremely proud to represent such a diverse community that is united by shared values and stands against all forms of hate,” added City Council Member Susan Zhuang. On this day, American Jews and members of the Asian Pacific Islander community came together to demonstrate shared values and history. This unity makes our community stronger than ever before. It is also necessary to acknowledge the enormous contributions made by Marks JCH of Bensonhurst, JCRC-NY and the UJA Federation. "We are pleased that this event honors our volunteers, who have dedicated themselves to serving people for more than 30 years. Seniors are the fastest growing population in the United States, and we respond to their social and physical needs. Volunteers play a key role in We are honored to partner with JCRC and City Council Member Susan Zhuang as our advocate. Today is a great example of our strong and diverse partnership,” said Alex Budnitsky. The celebration of Jewish and AAPI heritage recognized Xing Xing Chang, Xia Li Zhen, Neli Salniker, Eduard Vasiliev and Nora Polisar for their contributions to society and culture. But most importantly, Marks JCH of Bensonhurst ensures that everyone feels important and understood, that everyone receives attention and assistance. Lilya Turevskaya, Irina Balagula and other social workers of the center do a tremendous amount of work for single people, doing it with dignity and devotion. The center's employees perform their duties professionally, with love and respect, creating programs that meet the interests and needs of our citizens. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the center has provided assistance to refugees, provided medical insurance, organized English language courses and provided assistance in finding a job. Holocaust survivors are being helped to overcome loneliness. Weekly classes are held in yoga, drawing, computer skills and learning English. Every week, 50-70 people gather in front of their computer screens on the Zoom platform, where poets, artists, art historians, political scientists and other interesting interlocutors come to visit them. This really prolongs the life of older people, especially those who have suffered the horrors of war and other difficult trials. Director of Social Programs Michael Rockman places great emphasis on all social programs, including the Holocaust Survivors Center. It is truly a blessing and a true blessing to be under the care of JCH of Bensonhurst. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the center’s staff for everything they do for our community and for everyone who comes to the center. Many thanks to the sponsors of this event that brings our wonderful and diverse communities together! Marina Lagunova

I don't understand how Lilia felt it, but she gave me my family back. And more importantly, she gave me hope.
When I came to Lilya, I was in such a state that I couldn't even speak properly—there was a lump in my throat the whole time. My husband left, slamming the door, saying he was tired. I thought it was the end. Lilya gently took my hand and said, "You'll see his smile again next to you." And two weeks later, he really did come back. He sat down across from me and, his voice shaking, admitted that he missed me every minute. I don't understand how Lilya felt it, but she gave me back my family. And most importantly, she gave me hope. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
When my husband left me for another woman after 10 years of marriage, I was in despair. I didn't believe in myself or in miracles. A friend advised me to contact the clairvoyant Lilia. I doubted for a long time, but finally decided to do it. Lilia immediately said that there was still a connection between my husband and me, just a lot was confused. She helped me to energetically recover, remove negativity, and then performed a ritual to restore the family. A month later, he himself began to get in touch, and two months later he returned home. Now everything is fine with us, as if we started living from scratch. Thank you, Lilia, with all my heart!

I'm writing this with trembling hands... I still can't believe that he's here, sleeping next to me, hugging me at night, and not her. My husband left... Not just left... he was taken from his job by a woman with no shame or conscience. I felt him slipping away: the coldness in his eyes, the distance, the lies. He left without looking back. He left me with a child, with empty walls and a broken heart. We were together for 13 years... 13 years of love, pain, joy. And then it all collapsed in an instant. I was dying inside. No one understood how much pain it was. My friends said, "Forget it." But I couldn't. My soul was breaking. He was mine. I knew it. In my heart. In despair, I found reviews of Matushka Raisa on Google. I wrote to her in tears. I don't remember what I wrote... everything was like a fog. She answered very calmly: Don't cry, girl. He's not hers. His soul is still with you. We'll bring him back. But believe. She saw everything: the rival, the husband's weakness, and my feelings, as if in the palm of your hand. She performed the ritual. She said: Give it three days. And don't doubt. On the second day, he called. He spoke quietly, as if ashamed. He said that he felt like he'd woken up. That he couldn't breathe without me. On the third day, he stood on the threshold. With flowers. With eyes full of remorse. He said: Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I want to go home. We are together again. But now every evening I pray and thank Mother Raisa. For hearing me. For protecting my family. This is not just help. This is a miracle. If you're in despair and don't know where to turn, go to her. Mother Raisa is a light in the darkest darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help! Her number is +38099-292-71-82 on Viber.
