Below you will find descriptions and links for some of the ketubah artists with whom we work.

Mickie Caspi
 As one of the most prolific ketubah artists today, Mickie Caspi has designed Jewish wedding ketubot in a diverse range of styles. Caspi's Blue Scroll ketubah is bordered with vines, one of the artist's most prevalent Jewish wedding themes. The Star of David at the top is surrounded by two quotes from Song of Songs: "I have found the one in whom my soul delights," and "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine." It is a Jewish wedding tradition to quote Song of Songs, as the romantic language has long lent itself to the traditional wedding vow.  The Parchment ketuba is a timeless piece of Jewish ceremonial art. The ketubah paper has beautiful parchment-like coloration, which serves to honor the past at your Jewish wedding ceremony. Recalling the design of Persian and Moorish architecture, Blue Tile (click the blue katubah above) features a border with surprisingly bold and intricate geometry. Garden of Eden's lush stained glass-style border emphasizes the unique spaces for the Hebrew/Aramaic language and the modern English 1. Many of Mickie Caspi's wedding ketubot are available for an interfaith wedding.

 Betsy Teutsch
Betsy Teutsch has been designing remarkable ketubot for many years. With her most recent wedding vow designs, Trees of Life and Trees of the Forest, the artist has tapped into a wellspring of beauty and significance. Two trees embrace the wedding vow text on these Jewish marriage ketubot. The two trees represent the Tree of Life, the symbol of the Torah (the Hebrew Bible) -- as well as the central image in the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Betsy Teutsch's Trees of Life and Trees of the Forest are also available with a wedding vow renewal text.

 Daniel Sroka
For an entirely contemporary and innovative wedding vow ketubah, we invite you to explore the photographic work of Daniel Sroka. Sroka's wedding ketubahs were designed to express contemporary attitudes toward marriage, love and commitment. The artist designed them to reflect modern values of compassion, understanding, and inclusion. Each of Sroka's ketubot was designed with interfaith wedding events in mind, avoiding symbols or words that might alienate the non-Jewish spouse or family. The sensitivity of the Autumn Gold ketubah, complements the artist's awareness of the feelings and needs which accompany an interfaith marriage. Daniel Sroka's ketubahs are available with a wedding vow renewal text, as well as the traditional and interfaith ketubah texts. Sroka specializes in dynamic shades of red in such pieces as Blush, Fire and Gold -- and in subtle whites and pinks, as in the Bloom and the Soft Rose ketubahs. |
Robert Saslow
 Robert
Saslow has written one of the most beautiful modern wedding vow
texts
-- and his ketubah art matches his mastery of language. Variations
of Saslow's stunning marriage text are featured on all of his ketubot,
except those with Aramaic-Only ketubah text 1. The
artist's
ketubah text is available with a few variations, including texts
appropriate
for an interfaith marriage or a same sex marriage. Endless
Moments
-- a quietly elegant lithograph
ketubah -- is a collaboration between Robert Saslow and Gallery
Judaica.
The Endless
Moments ketubah is available with gold or silver foil. Blue
Dawn is a beautiful
ketubah with great artistic depth and Jewish symbol imagery. Also exploring the Judaic Tree of Life theme, Seasons
of Joy, Holy
Land and Toscana
ketubot share a similar color scheme, yet they celebrate different
aspects of Jewish traditions -- the Jewish holiday calendar, Jerusalem,
and a synagogue in Florence, Italy -- respectively. Saslow's Seasons
Eternal ketubah stands out in its symbolic significance, as it
features the endless cycle of the seasons in exciting colors, with a
round
ketubah text. |
Amy Fagin
 Inspired
painter Amy
Fagin has diverged from traditional ketubah art-piece esthetics.
Her work has been an innovative asset to many a Jewish wedding ceremony. As you explore our online ketubah gallery, you may notice that Fagin's
Jewish wedding vow ketubot have an unmistakable uniqueness. We invite you to look at Amy
Fagin's Beside
Still Waters, Ayn
Sof and Twilight
Promise ketubahs, as well as the rest of the artist's contributions
to the Jewish wedding ritual of signing a wedding
contract.

Naomi Teplow
 On
the other end of the art-piece katubah spectrum, Naomi
Teplow makes wondrous use of bright, exhilarating colors. Her
wedding vow art is filled with lush
nature scenes -- favoring all manner of natural wonders, from waterfalls
to palm trees and pomegranates to the changing
of the seasons. Rejoice
in Thy Festival ketubah is "guarded" by the lions of Judah, atop
this dynamic wedding art piece. Ketubah imagery for Jewish weddings,
such as the Jewish calendar and the constellations, is beautifully portrayed
in Teplow's Circle
of Time. Song of Songs is another Jewish
marriage document with a circular ketubah text -- surrounded by a flowing
patchwork of Jewish symbol imagery. |
