Dove’s Eyes Ketubah
by Tamar Messer
Ketubah Description
This Ketubah is imbued with romanticism which visually embodies the message of the verse on which it is based: “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.” (Song of Songs: Chapter 8, Verse 7). Water is the symbol of the source of life in all literary texts. The scarcity of water is used to express the fact that even this valuable liquid, used in large quantities in order to attempt to quench love, is destined to failure, because the love of this future married couple is stronger than ever.
