What is a Ketubah?
(marriage certificates )
The ketubah is a marrage contract between the
husband and wife. It may be printed; more often,
it is hand written in beautiful calligraphy and
illuminated by a sofer, or scribe. Much of the
traditional Aramaic text is over 2,000 years
old, and the present form was fixed in the
eighth or ninth century. The ketubah formalizes
the groom's commitment to protect and care for
the bride. The ketubah has two signatures from
close friends or respected teachers as formal
witnesses to his commitment.
Traditionally, a ketubah is a legal lien on the
husband's property which he gives his wife-to-be
in the case of his death or their divorce, to
ensure her maintenance and well-being. There are
some options that a woman can negotiate. In
traditional Judaism, the ketubah is signed by
the man, read under the chupah, and given
immediately to the woman. The ketubah belongs to
the woman.
In the liberal movements, the text of the
Ketubah has been modified to be more
egalitarian, and provide equal protection for
both husband and wife. Some Ketubahs also
include language to address the issue of
husbands that refuse to provide a get, or bill
of divorce, when requested by the wife. There is
another way to view the Ketubah: think of it as
the first prenuptual contract!
The ketubah, as the external symbol of so
auspicious an event among so domestic a people,
lent itself to decoration of the most varied
kind. The Italian specimens of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries were specially ornate.
Some choice examples are in the Musיe Cluny and
in the Smithsonian Institution. Earlier
ornamentation was generally in the nature of
illumination, writing in gold, etc., and
calligraphy. Sometimes, as in Masoretic Bibles,
the decoration is supplied by designs in which
lines are replaced by minuscule writing. Thus in
one beautiful specimen of a marriage contract at
Colorno near Parma of 1688 the whole of
Canticles makes up the elaborate floral design
surrounding the body of the deed. Turkish
ketubot generally rely on the embellishment
provided by Moorish and Mosaic designs. Later
Italian specimens often incorporate
illustrations more or less appropriate to the
contracting parties. Thus, where the bride is
named Esther, a picture of Ahasuerus holding out
his scepter to Queen Esther is given. So, too,
when an Isaac is the bridegroom, there is given
a representation of the sacrifice of Abraham's
son of that name. Occasionally, however,
conventional pictures of two hearts pierced by a
dagger, a pair of love-birds, or a true-lovers'
knot take the place of such personal pictorial
allusions. But angels and coronets, flowers and
fruits, are the most usual of the Italian
decorations. Often "tena'im" or pecuniary
stipulations, more or less complicated, are
written alongside of the ketubah.
We take great pride in our ketubah
personalization service. One of the ketubah
artists from our extensive roster skillfully
fills in your ketubah, transforming the
exquisitely displayed wedding vows into an
art-piece that is truly your own. Visit our
