Description: this subtle
Ketuba is on acid free paper tinted the
colour of parchment which shows its themes
to delicate but rich effect: joined rings
and the never-ending knot interspersed with
joyful floral bands. The Seven Species (vine,
fig, wheat, barley, pomegranate, olive and
palm) form part of the outermost illumination.
Birds perch on the two floral vines which
symbolise the bride and groom joined through
their wedding and recorded on their Ketuba.
In the lower left-hand corner a bee pollinates
the flowers.
At the top of the Ketuba the Menorah represents
symbolically the continuity of Jewish tradition.
Just beneath it are the words: Ani Le
Dodi Ve Dodi Li ('I am my beloved’s
and my beloved is mine') from the Song of
Songs. Other quotations are from the Book
of Proverbs.
