There is a lot of reference in the Jewish mystery tradition to the 36 lights we kindle during the holiday of Hanukkah, celebrating the ongoing kindling of the light of the holy temple of sacred earth. These 36 are called the ohr haganuz, the original light stored up for the people. If we add the 8 shamashim candles we also light, then we come to a total of forty four fires we kindle. This holiday is the only one that bridges with it’s 44 lights two months, Kislev and Tevet. It starts on kislev 25 and ends on tevet 2. It is also the only holiday that happens in the dark of the month (the 25th)when the moon is not visible in the sky. We are bringing light into the very dark and fecund winter month of Tevet when the traditional Roman/Edom New Year begins. This year is very special. The inauguration(Hanukkah means inauguration) of the forty fourth Chief of the United States happens on the eve of the 25th! of Tevet. The march of our 44 candles over the many centuries of the exile of Edom/’Rome” leads to the 44th Presidential inauguration/Hanukkah in the dark of the month of Tevet. And his name is Hebrew-Barack- for the LIGHTning! We live in the era of miracles. Happy Hanukkah. The parsha this week is Miketz which means the “end”. However it has 146 posukim/lines which is the same number as the first parsha of Torah/Bereishit, the beginning. The end and the beginning. The gematria of the year 769 = Ohr HaRishon, the light of the beginning/first. The 25th word of the sepher Bereishit(first)/Genesis is Ohr=light. The 25th of tevet will be the first full day of a new light where America of Edom is carrying the torch of a global Yisrael. The 44th eagle chief of America. Three events on days in tevet traditionally speak for the fecund dark of the month in Jewish history. The yahrzheit of Ezra on Tevet 9 which ended the era of prophecy. The translation of Torah into Greek in tevet which without oral Torah, was seen to cause great problems in the exile, and the fast day of Tevet10 when the king of Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem. And now the 25th of tevet, the dark of the dark month is lighted/barack/lightning with the 44 candle. This light has been a gradual dawn for a new world. A new Hanukkah for the olam/world.
