The tree of life, also called in Hebrew: Etz haChayim (? ), a mysterious symbol used in Judaism, belongs to one of the thoughts of Kabbalah, a traditional Jewish philosophy. The tree of life is used to describe the road to God (in Kabbalah literature, it is usually called Jehovah, or "the name of God") and the way God created the world from scratch. Kabbalah scholars use the tree of life as a schematic diagram of creation, thus developing the concept of creation into a complete realistic model. It is believed that Kabbalah's tree of life is equivalent to the tree of life mentioned in Genesis.
