Covenant – Dawn Ketubah
by Temma Gentles
Ketubah Description
God’s covenant with Abraham states: ”In blessing I will bless thee and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven.” (Genesis 22:17) A network of stars inspired by an ancient Japanese silkscreen design form 18 (chai) rays of light surrounding the ketubah text, which is itself a covenant. The parchment (klaf) papercut reveals the Dawning of a New Day.
