The ketubah is the Jewish marriage contract that states the husband's obligations to his new wife. Before the wedding, the officiating rabbi supervises the signing of the contract by at least two witnesses. Close friends and relatives are invited to witness the signing of the ketubah, which is considered an honor. Afterward, during the wedding ceremony, it is read out loud under the chuppah.
The ketubah is one of the most popular forms of Jewish art, or judaica, found in the home. Many people follow the Jewish tradition of Hiddur Mitzvah which calls for ceremonial objects such as the ketubah to be made as beautiful as possible. Ketubot are often hung prominently in the newly weds home as a daily reminder of their vows and responsibilities to each other.
Examples of beautiful, hand made ketubot can be seen dating back hundreds of years. Designs and artistic styles are heavily influenced by the geographical location and time the contract was written. Many examples of paper cut ketubot can be found from different Jewish communities all over the world.
The Studios of Lee Loebman has been creating custom ketubot and prints for over 20 years. An original ketubah created by Lee is paper cut and measures 22” x 30”. The calligraphy is hand written and available in a variety of different texts. Prints and glicees are also available in a variety of designs.
The Gematria for the word Ketubah is 433. The word Mishpachah, Hebrew for family, is also equal to 433.
