Mystical Jerusalem Ketubah
by Nishima Kaplan
Ketubah Description
Doves of Peace soar above a mystical Jerusalem where Day and Night exist in perfect balance. Loving Couples wander hand-in-hand along twin paths towards a Star-lit Ocean and a Sun-drenched City perched atop gentle hills. Crowning this paradise are two interlocked Wedding Rings, symbolizing your union in marriage, and a Scroll reading “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine” – a quote from the Song of Songs. Below, twin shofars proclaim the Hebrew word “Chai” – life – while candles, wine and challah stand ready as symbols of the Jewish home you have pledged to create.
