the 25th word of the Sepher Torah is ohr/light. the festival of light/Chanukah is celebrated beginning on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. The fifth night of Chanukah is the only night/day that will not fall on the Sabbath giving it a special significance. This year however it falls on Christmas eve and the 25th day of December. On the fifth night of the festival we have lighted a total of fifteen candles(minus the shameshim) which number fifteen is the gematria of a name of haShem/Yah - Yod-heh. 25 is also the number of small boxes in the planetary kamea of meadim/Mars, the 5 X 5 grid. As previously stated in this blog, this coming June we will experience the 25th transit of Venus across the face of the Sun since the second temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 ce and the solar prayer form of Christianity began. The central box in the 49 box grid of the planetary grid of Nogah/Venus is the number 25. Another name for Venus is Esther who is a Jewish heroine as well as the word implying hiddeness. The verse of Torah - the 5772nd(as posted about previously) corresponds to this Hebrew year 5772 and this verse contains the word Esther in Hebrew.
The guy that comes down the chimney to place gifts under the Tree in christian homes wears the red suit of meadim/Mars and is a jovial "keeper" of gifts/wealth like Tzedeq/Jupiter and has the white hair of time as Shabbatai/Saturn. He is an ancient pagan Chief of the sacred Sarim, the planetary chiefs that cause the earth to turn(pole). Santa is actually pretty Jewish as he works hard to increase joy for the celebration.
What is special about the fifth night/day of Channukah is also that it is a prayer concerning the Fifth heaven. The work of the mekubalim as stated in Sepher Yetzira is to bring the micono/seat of haShem "down". The fifth night is a specific prayer to bring the micono/seat of haShem in the seventh heaven of Shabbatai/Saturn (as aggadah places it) and bring it to the sphere/heaven of meadim/Mars which directly encircles our Holy Earth. The eight lights refer then kabbalistically to the eight heavens surrounding our Earth in the ancient geocentric world view. We may therefore pray that the peace, prosperity and wisdom of the Sarim makes the vision of enduring freedom a reality.
