Modern Style Ketubot
Three Ketubot are offered which can be ordered in the following versions. Each Ketubah is printed in silkscreen using 15-25 colour separations (each colour is printed separately) on Arches paper.
The text used is as approved for weddings under the auspices of the United Synagogues.
YAEL
These two Ibex, typical of the forna found in the Holy Land, welcome the newly married couple in a majestic manner to the entrance of the Garden of Eden. These ibex together with the pomegranates to be found on the green "gate" which are also typical of the indigenous flora of the Holy Land, symbolize a new pure beginning of mutual love and a shared destiny. This is in keeping with the text of the Ketubah which states: "Gladden the beloved companions as You gladdened Your creature in the Garden of Eden from aforetime".

DOVE'S EYES
This illustration showing King Solomon and his beloved is inspired by a verse from Song of Songs (Chapter 4; Verse 1) "Behold, thou art fair, my love, behold, thou art fair, thou hast dove's eyes within thy locks". The artist has successfully tried to capture the essence of this verse which describes the pure and innocent love between the couple depicted in this scene. The doves sitting on the branch above the loving couple metaphorically describe this untainted love. |

MANY WATERS This Ketuba is imbued with romanticism which visually embodies the message of the verse on which it is based: "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it." (Song of Songs: Chapter 8, Verse 7). Water is the symbol of the source of life in all literary texts. The scarcity of water is used to express the fact that even this valuable liquid, used in large quantities in order to attempt to quench love, is destined to failure, because the love of this future married couple is stronger than ever. |  |
