My Beloved is Mine Ketubah
by Veronique Jonas
Ketubah Description
In this colorful design, intertwining trees separate to encircle the text then join again to hold the Chuppah. The trees represent the couple joined in love, yet preserving their individuality, then coming together in marriage. A pair of doves protectively hovers over the tallit as a symbol of peace in the home. The Torah scroll displays a quote from Song of Songs: My beloved is mine And I am his Who browses among the lilies. A set of Shabbat candles rise from intertwining wedding rings to symbolize the creation of a new Jewish home. Jerusalem is never far from our souls and our thoughts.
