The Third Day of Hanukkah
Gideon Levytam lights the candles on the third day of Hanukkah, pointing to the miraculous event that took place in the year of 165 BC, when the Jewish people cleansed and rededicated the Jerusalem Temple that was desecrated by King Antiochus. Gideon reminds us from John 10 how Jesus the Messiah, standing in that very Temple, presented Himself as Israel’s promised Messiah and the light of the world.

From Chapter 7:4-14 on the study of the Book of Ecclesiastes, (Kohelet-קֹהֶלֶת), brother Gideon Levytam relays the good council King Solomon gave the people of God. Solomon explains that the wise are to behave differently than those who are foolish, they are to follow God and receive instruction and correction from Him. While the foolish in heart set God aside, the wise consider the works of God and know how to behave in days of prosperity or adversity, accepting everything from the hands of God, who is sovereign.

Hebrews 1:3 - Jesus the Messiah Himself Purged Our Sins
From Chapter 1:3 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam sets before us the glory of the person of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, and His sacrificial atonement. In His person, He is the brightness of God’s glory and the express image of God's person. He is the Creator who holds the universe by the word of His power, and yet He willingly became a Man, the Emanuel / God with us. As a Man, Yeshua the Messiah purged our sins through His sacrificial death and resurrection, and He now is seated at God’s right hand in heaven.
Daniel 12:9-13 - Daniel Stand in Thy Lot at the End of Days
From Chapter 12:9-13 of the prophecy of Daniel (דָנִיאֶל), brother Gideon Levytam directs us to the concluding prophetic promises which Daniel received from the angel concerning himself, Jerusalem, and his people of Israel. Daniel was told to go and rest in peace, as the words of this prophecy are sealed until the time of the end. Daniel was promised that those who will be wise, will be purified, yet the wicked will not understand, but all who trust God will be blessed. Along with Daniel, they will rise up in the future to receive their lot in Israel, who will be restored to God and receive all the promises which He promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants.

Ecclesiastes 7:1-3 - Good Name is Better Than Precious Ointment
From Chapter 7:1-3 on the study of the Book of Ecclesiastes, (Kohelet-קֹהֶלֶת), brother Gideon Levytam explains that in every situation under the sun, God’s people are to make things better. King Solomon advised his people Israel that to have a good name was more important than having costly perfume. WHY? Because living a godly life honours God and is a blessing to others. That one aught to remember that life is short and that death comes to all of us, for there is appointed a day when each one of us will leave this world. Therefore, even through days of sorrow and sadness, the godly will turn to God, trusting Him to provide them with joy and gladness, despite the circumstances.
