What is a ketubah?


A ketubah is a work of art that symbolizes the beauty of your marriage.

A ketubah is a work of art that uses images and words to express the love and commitment of your marriage vows. While the ketubah has its roots in the Jewish wedding tradition, its beauty has become embraced by couples from all different religions and cultures. It is signed by the bride and groom in a special ceremony at the wedding, publicly declaring their commitment and love, and symbolizing the traditional start of their married life. After the wedding, the ketubah is usually hung in a place of honor in the home, and serves as a daily reminder of the vows they have made to each other on their wedding.


Can we get a ketubah for an interfaith wedding?

Yes.  Ketubah designs can use symbols from nature, flowers and leaves, thereby celebrating an interfaith marriage with images that are meaningful to both traditions. Ketubot can be designed to be a symbol of a union between two individuals, two families, and two traditions.
