Rings Ketubah
The Ketubah is printed on
soft-textured art paper or on genuine parchment (the
same of which is used for writing Sifrei Torah, Tefillin
and Mezuzot) of the highest quality and with a special
texture which gives it an original and authentic
appearance. The parchment color is light, a fact which
accentuates the painting and color. This parchment is
stronger than paper and can last for many years.

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 ketubah
