About this Ketubah Original Text Style Orthodox Aramaic (Click here to view entire wording) Font Style The font in this piece is an exact copy of the font that was originally hand written by Tami and was especially created for this Ketubah. Design
The colours and the texture of this piece blend together in a spring motif. The perimeter of the Ketubah is an inscription from the Song of Songs about the changing of the seasons as spring arrives, bringing a new beginning, just as a wedding heralds a new beginning, as two lives are joined and cemented within a new relationship.
  The perimeter of the text is an inscription from Ethics of the Fathers VI:8;
  "Rabbi Shimon Ben Yehuda said in the name of Rabbi Shimon Ben Yochai, beauty and strength, riches, honour, wisdom, old age, grey hair, and children are comely for the righteous and comely for the world, as it is said; silver hairs is a crown of glory, it shall be found in the way of righteousness, and it says; the glory of young men is their strength, and the beauty of old men is silver hair, and it says; the crowns of the old men are children's children, and the glory of children are their fathers."
  A Jewish wedding forges a new link in the chain of the Jewish family.
  In the crown of the Ketubah are located the two tablets of the covenant, guarded by two cherubim. These winged creatures, a species of angel, served as God's chariot, (Exodus 25:22 - "There I will meet with you and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are upon the Ark of the Covenant, I will speak with you of all that I will give you in commandment for the people of Israel.")
  In the centre, with a golden arch surrounding it, is a scene from Jerusalem, King David's Tower. We see here as well, the traditional Hebrew phrase which means, "The voice of rejoicing and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride."
  Above the crown of the piece is a flowing, draping Chuppah, the marriage canopy, which ties together the Star of David and the seven-branched Menorah.
  The bottom of the piece contains an inscription which is the traditional Aramaic equivalent of "Siman Tov V'Mazal Tov."
  The rainbow-shaped arch which spans the entire Ketubah contains flowers, a symbol of spring, and vine leaves, a symbol of celebration.
