Pesukim – Silver Ketubah
by Gad Almaliah
Ketubah Description
On the left panel, in hand-cut embossed metal, King Solomon’s Song of Songs speaks lovingly of “my darling among maidens.” On the right panel, a passage from the Book of Jeremiah promises “I will betroth you.” These words of love are punctuated by proud peacocks and trees rooted in the land – symbols of beauty and prosperity.
