Custom Ketubot

Jewish Marriage Contracts by Rebecca

I believe that selecting custom Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) text and art should be more than something to check off the long wedding to-do list. It should become a place for deep engagement with what it really means to enter into commitment and partnership. I will work with you to create a beautiful, unique and meaningful partnership contract that you can look to far beyond the day of your wedding.

I offer Ketubot using traditional egalitarian Aramaic text, custom text in Hebrew and/or English and any combination of the above. I will work with you to make sure the gender identities of those in your partnership are accurately reflected in all languages.

The process of articulating and envisioning the highest dreams for your partnership should be fun, playful and joyous. It should leave you feeling more connected with each other and your excitement to build a life together. I use a process to help you choose art that reflects your unique aesthetic, and text that reflects your unique vision. Have an object, symbol or landscape that has special meaning to you? Let’s make Ketubah art out of it! Have a poem or song lyric that encapsulates your relationship to a T? Let’s make Ketubah text out of it!

Sample Custom Text

On the ____ of the month of ____, in the year ____, in ____, we, ____ and _____, enter the covenant of marriage as loving partners in life. With this Ketubah, we affirm our commitment to each other. We strive to create a family where we each feel authentically seen, held, and loved for all that we are. We commit to making our home a refuge-an endless well of peace, nourishment, support, generosity, adventure and fun. We promise to build a partnership that is not afraid of growth and change, and serves as a source of support in life’s painful moments. We commit to trusting ourselves and each other to move through challenges with love and integrity, allowing them to deepen our intimacy. We will continue to root our partnership in our shared vision for the world and work for justice, taking wisdom from our Jewish and secular traditions. May this partnership allow us to embrace the fullness of each others’ being, supporting us each to grow as individuals while we grow together.
