== Atzei Chaim == The sheets of the Sefer are rolled onto wooden rods. These rods are called "Atzei Chaim" (Trees of Life). The Frierdiker Rebbe explains why they are called "Trees of Life" and not "Trees of Knowledge" β which is the aspect of Torah as knowledge and wisdom: Because in knowledge there are differences between people (one with broad knowledge or one with limited knowledge); but in life, everyone is equal β whoever holds onto the Tree of Life β the Torah β lives.
