Velvel, before putting me away in an aron, I will answer in Yeshivish shprach, the cheftzah of Torah is connected to a gavrah of Totah. The cheftza can indeed be placed in an aron but not a gavrah.
Hey, don’t blame me. You were the one who was haughty enough to say that he is a “living sefer Torah” and should be treated like one. If you want to make up forced interpretations to explain away the box you painted yourself into, that’s not my fault.
