          <english>&lt;b&gt;The Torah is a tree of life to those who grasp it, and those who uphold&lt;/b&gt; Torah learning &lt;b&gt;are fortunate. Pleasant are the Torah&apos;s ways, and every path of it is peace.&lt;/b&gt; The Torah&apos;s manner of living benefits our body and our soul. &lt;b&gt;Length of days is at the Torah&apos;s right.&lt;/b&gt; If we study Torah for the proper motive—because it is a commandment—it will grant us length of days besides wealth and honor. &lt;b&gt;Wealth and honor stand at its left.&lt;/b&gt; Even if we study Torah for other motives, and not solely because it is a commandment, it will still grant us wealth and honor. &lt;b&gt;The Lord desired, for the sake of&lt;/b&gt; increasing the Jewish Nation&apos;s &lt;b&gt;righteousness, that the Torah be magnified and glorified.&lt;/b&gt;</english>

          <text>1 In the times of the Talmud, it was customary for the person who raised the Torah to roll it up as well. These two honors were collectively known as &quot;rolling up,&quot; because the act of rolling up the Torah is the main honor. The Sages explain that although it is the last honor, the person who receives it also receives the rewards of all the previous aliyot. Nowadays, it is customary in some communities for the &quot;rolling up&quot; to be done by two people: one person raises the Torah, and a second person rolls it up. The Chabad custom, however, is that the person who raises the Torah is also given the main honor of rolling it up, as this more closely resembles the &quot;rolling up&quot; of the Talmudic era. A second person is then given the honor of dressing the Torah.</text>

          <text>3 Literally, &quot;very praised.&quot; Just as a teacher who has the ability to impart great wisdom to all students—regardless of age or ability—is very praised, so is God very praised. God expresses His infinite greatness in many ways, so that all people—no matter how spiritually inclined they may be—can recognize it and appreciate it.</text>

          <text>4 Literally, &quot;long face.&quot; God&apos;s &quot;face&quot; symbolizes His love, because love is expressed face to face. God&apos;s love is described as &quot;long,&quot; because it originates in the greatest spiritual heights and extends down to the lowest levels of our physical world.</text>
