* The term Etz Chaim, (plural: עצי חיים ''Atzei Chaim''), is also used to describe each of the wooden poles to which the parchment of a Sefer Torah is attached. A hymn including the words "Etz Chaim hi"("It is a tree of life") is sung in all Ashkenazi rites as the Torah is returned to the ark.〔("Eitz Hayyim Hi" )〕
* In Kabbalah, Etz Hayim-symbol (properly "Etz Ha-Hayim: The Tree of Life") is a mystical symbol used to understand the nature of God and the manner in which He created the world. The term ''Etz Hayim (text)'' is also the title of one of the most important works in Jewish mysticism, written by Hayim Vital in the course of twenty years following the death of his master, Isaac Luria in 1572, presenting and explicating Luria's systematic reconceptualization and expansion of the insights of the Zohar and other earlier mystical sources. Vital's ''Etz Chaim'' is the foundational work for the later Lurianic Kabbalah, which soon became the mainstream form of Kabbalah amongst both Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jewry up to the modern period. This massive multi-volumed work circulated only in manuscript form amongst mystics for over 100 years, and was first published in 1782.
