 Schneider, Kabbalistic Writings, p.258 – This is a reference to the first and tenth sephirot, the divine emanations of G-d, which are considered the fundamental building blocks of the material and spiritual realities.

 Scherman, "The Stone Edition of the Chumash,” p.249 – There are also a few other links between Chanukah and Parashat Mikeitz. The parashah has 2025 words and there are eight lights on a chanukiah. Each light, or lamp, corresponds to the numerical value of 250 (נר Heb: lamp). 250 Multiplied by eight (2000), plus 25 for the 25th of Kislev (the beginning of the holiday), also results in 2025.

 Scherman, "The Stone Edition of the Chumash,” p.237 – Rashi also makes the point that Joseph wished to separate Simeon from Levi, who were responsible for carrying out the attach at Shechem.
 “Then Judah said to his Israel his father, ‘Send the lad [Benjamin] with me, and let us arise and go, so we will live and not die, we as well as you and our children. I will personally guarantee him; of my own hand you can demand him. If I do not bring him back to you and stand him before you, then I will have sinned to you for all time.” (43:8-9)

 As found in Scherman, "The Stone Edition of the Chumash,” p.227 – Various Rabbis comment on Midrash Tanchuma whereby it is told in the second year of the famine, everyone else’s stockhouses of grain rotted except for Joseph’s. When the people came to Joseph for food, he demanded that they circumcised themselves, which was part of the preparations that Joseph was making for his brothers’ descent into Egypt. Chaim Miller, in his lecture Torah in Ten: Mikeitz, relays that these are souls that would commit the sin of the Golden Calf.
