About Ilanot Sacred Arts
Ilanot Sacred Arts was born from a growing interest in bringing the hidden beauty of original kabbalistic art into the public eye. The prints featured here are connected to a wider world of scholarship made newly accessible through the groundbreaking Ilanot Project, a research initiative led by Professor J. H. Chajes at the University of Haifa. Chajes’s pioneering work brought attention to ilanot: kabbalistic “trees” that visualize divine realms, metaphysical processes, and sacred knowledge in breathtaking diagrammatic form.
Professor Chajes’s research culminated in The Kabbalistic Tree, the first comprehensive study of these remarkable artifacts, which has been lauded as a “monumental achievement that will be valuable to scholars and general readers interested in Judaism, religion, and art history.” For those who wish to explore further, the Ilanot Project makes many of these works available online, with interactive editions, translations, and commentaries added on an ongoing basis.
The idea for this site arose organically. As more people encountered these images, whether at lectures, exhibitions, or in private study, it became clear that many wished to acquire them, yet had no meaningful way to obtain high-quality, licensed reproductions of these rare and often privately held manuscripts. Bringing such works into a new format required careful scholarly guidance, which Professor Chajes has generously offered in an advisory capacity. Ilanot Sacred Arts is an independent project founded by Joshua Genuth, his son-in-law.
