Hi Rebekah!
We were unable to find anything with the spelling of Bragouslav, but Malka's immigration record states that she was from "Kaniff, Russia." Here's a link to the passenger list from Ancestry: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=8842&h=2274850&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=lDL183&_phstart=successSource
"Kaniff" could possibly be referring to Kaniv, Ukraine - which at the time was a part of Russia. You can read more about it on the JewishGen Town Finder: https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/community.php?usbgn=-1040899.
If you notice, there is a nearby Jewish community called Boguslav. I can see how this could sound a bit like Bragouslav. It's possible that this could be a match for your Bragouslav, but it's just a guess. You can reead a bit more about Boguslav here:

Do you by chance have any additional records that might give some clues as to where she is from? Additional records might give us some evidence that could prove or disprove this theory.
I would recommend seeing if you can do some more research in US records first before jumping across the pond.

Thank you so much Ellie! I've done some research and that naturalization record is the only place that tells me a city of where she is from. I am having problems finding her marriage certificate though. I know she married Henry Joseph Talpis on march 7, 1926 in camden, nj. But i cannot even find an index marriage report but i have found that marriage date and location on 2 different reports (mollie's naturalization and henry's naturalization records). Do you know where I would look?

A record for consideration...Molly Kahn [sic] married a H.T. on 10 March 1926 in Place Code = 10 = Burlington County, New Jersey. You can order the record from the NJ State Archives once they reopen.

I think this is the City in Ukraine - Bohuslav or Boguslav.
Bohuslav is a city of district significance on the Ros River in Kiev Oblast of Ukraine.
In Cyrillic: Богуслав,
