Ketubot and Tenaim
The Ketubah and Tenaim are two documents signed
at a Jewish wedding. Each document performs a specific legal function
in the marriage ceremony. The Tenaim, or "conditions," is the engagement
contract detailing the coupleís union in love, friendship, trust, honor
and faith. The Ketubah, the Jewish marriage certificate, is the central
document of the wedding ceremony stating the responsibilities and obligations
of a husband towards his wife.
The Sages instituted this document approximately two thousand years ago
to protect a woman's honor and rights. Customarily, Jewish communities
beautify these texts, transforming them into works of art. This portfolio
of work shows a variety of commissioned Ketubot and Tenaim that now adorn
the homes of newlywed and special anniversary couples. The following samples,
in color, theme and motif can be referenced to custom-make your Ketubah
or Tenaim. For more options, please check out the Materials
& Custom section.
