+1. There's a source for this observation. Do you know what it is, by any chance? (I don't.) – msh210 Dec 25 '11 at 04:09
@msh210: I read it in Sefer HoToda'ah (book of our heritage), but it was the student edition and didn't bring the source. – Menachem Dec 25 '11 at 21:12

In Parshas Bereishis, the 25th word is Ohr.

In Parshas Ma'asei, the 25th stop is Chashmonah.

In Parahas Emor, immediately after the Yamim Tovim is the Menorah, a hint to Chanukah. After that is the Shulchan, a hint to Purim and its mitzvos of food.
