Crafted Ketubah - How to order?

First I invite you to visit the Crafted Ketubah Gallery and the website shop.

The chosen wording length and design will determine the final price quote.

Advice and help with wording!

Orthodox Ritual - In this ceremony, the wording is given and fixed. You can receive the wording from the rabbinate where you opened the marriage file or directly from your Rabbi.

Before printing, the text will be sent to you for final approval which you can also share with the Rabbi of the ceremony.

In a Conservative, Reform or Civil ceremony, the couple formulates their own wording. In these ceremonies, the Ketubah constitutes a promise, a love contract, embodying principles that can shape your shared life. It is a big responsibility and not easy, but from personal experience - it is worth trying, committing and expressing feelings in your heart through the written word. A little inspiration can turn into a big help. Depending on the ceremony you perform I will send you a few suitable formulas that you can use to help you draft your Ketubah.

In any case, I always recommend approving the final wording with your Rabbi or Marriage Officiant !!

How Long Does It Take To Prepare A Ketubah?

The optimal time for ordering Ketubah is 3 months before the wedding date. However, I can accommodate a much shorter time frame when necessary   (even until a few days before the wedding ...).

In last-minute situations, please contact me as soon as possible and I will guide you on how to proceed.

Is the Ketubah kosher?

A Kosher Ketubah is one that has no errors in wording and writing.

In the process of writing the Ketubah, I receive the text from you and this exact text will appear in the Ketubah.

I guarantee accuracy by sending you a digital copy of the Ketubah for your final approval before printing. I recommend you receive your Rabbi’s approval before finalizing. This double certification guarantees the integrity and the Kashrut of the Ketubah!

Real parchment

The handcrafted Ketubah is made on a real parchment, on which the Torah, Tefillin, and Mezuzah books are written. The parchment I use is of the finest quality, with a velvety texture.

The bright parchment color highlights the black color of the ink and the illustration. The parchment is more durable than paper and, therefore, better preserved over the years.

Writing on leather promises a distinctive work of art that will accompany you and your family for centuries, and will serve as a memory for generations.

Can anyone write and illustrate the Ketubah?

Yes! Care should be taken that the wording is accurate and approved by the Rabbi or the Master Of Ceremony, but apart from these limitations, anyone can write and illustrate the Ketubah.

The Ketubah is an ancient and respected tradition that has been used for generations in Jewish communities around the world. "... When there is a necessity to observe a commandment through tools, it is appropriate to keep them in good hands, and to give them a fine and solemn form."

Although, in most of the ceremonies, the Rabbi provides a basic printed Ketubah, today, more and more couples are choosing to have their handcrafted customized Ketubah reflect their self-expression and unique taste.
