I will betroth you to Me forever; and I will betroth you
with fidelity, with righteousness, with justice, with
kindness and with mercy.
These lyrical words from Hosea 2:21 express the deep commitment of the bride and the groom to one another. The Olive paper cut ketubah is made up of five concentric circles of imagery, ornamentation and biblical texts that surround the ketubah text. The decorative innermost circle is embellished with 24-karat gold leaf.
Nature motifs: olive branches, pomegranates, song birds and wildflowers, playfully intertwine against a background of gradient blue while deer symbolizing love, gentleness and grace rest under the shade of an olive tree. Finally a band which, includes the words, Ani l' dodi v' dodi li/ I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine, from Song of Songs 6:3 completes this composition.
The Olive ketubah filled with movement, light and the poetry of the Bible brims with joy and delight.
