Worth noting is that today's Torah reading (today, from sundown) marks the beginning of the 22 year timeline of Joseph's separation from his father and brothers:
Gen 39:1-6
And today spells the end of 22 full years:
Wednesday, November 8, 1995 - Wednesday, December 6, 2017
Result: 8064 days
22 years, 28 days
Plenty for the Kabbalists here:
8064
224 (derech דרך) x 36
(238 + 14) x 32
288 x 14 x 2
