Yes! (Forgot to ask about Shavuos, but you got it!)
4th night is same as Simchas Torah- daled/ kuf for Krias Hatorah.
5th night is same as Yom Kippur- heh/tzadi for Tzom
6th night is the same as Purim (of the previous year- vav/peh.
7th night is Zayin/ayin. The 7th night is the same as EITHER lag baomer (Omer) or Yom Hoatzmaut (atzmaut) or sometimes both. Depending on if Nissan is Malei or Chaser.
A thief stole a sum of money, did teshuva, and wants to return what he stole to its owner. He knows the money belongs to one of two people, but he cannot remember which one. Describe a situation in which the former theif can return the money to only one of the two men and be certain that he returned it to its owner?

If the 2 men are master and eved. Technically everything belonging to the eved belongs to the master.
Return the money to the master, you've returned it to the proper owner.

This is interesting.
My question to you is, following your logic, how can it be that the thief could steal from the eved if the eved never owned anything?

Stole from a man and his yoresh. The man passes away, thief returns to the yoresh
Correct!
Stole from either the man or son. If the father passed away, the thief can return what he stole to the son, as the son inherited that which was stolen as well.
To four fathers who were tzaddikim, my lineage I can trace,
And I'm included in the eight special people's space.
Along other tzaddikim I did showcase,
But the batei k'nesios was my place.
In Tanach, many people share my name,
Some as plain, some as leviim, and some as kohanim it does claim.
Who am I?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?? I was up at night wracking my brain on this but so far I'm stumped.

My wild guess is Yaakov /Yisroel solely based on the special place of 8 (me'aras hamachpelah), that he was a yoshev ohalim, and it says "plain" instead Yisroel when listing kohanim and levi'im

I was thinking about Yaakov but, he only has 3 righteous fathers. Terach was a Rasha.
Also, do we know of any kohanim or leviim named Yaakov or Yisroel?
My thought was Shem.
He had four righteous fathers: Chanoch, Mesushelach, Lemach and Noach- they were all tzaddikim.
He was part of the 8 people who were saved from the Mabul.
We have yeshivas Shem v'Ever, so he obviously was in the batei kenisios (though I would say a more correct phrase would have been batei medreshos.)
But the last part doesn't work. I don't think anyone else in Tanach had his name. Though we do know that Malki Tzedek (AKA Shem) was a Cohen.
