A custom ketubah with a very personal view of San Francisco Custom ketubah orders are made to be very personal. I was approached by a couple in California who really liked my tree with skyline design and asked if I had a San Francisco ketubah (I do). The skyline in the SF design wasn’t exactly the […]
Andrea and Andrew live in a landscape dominated by massive redwood trees. Because of the impact of their surroundings, it made sense that they wanted their custom ketubah with trees. The scale of redwood forests is hard to grasp, but this was clearly something that they wanted to emphasize in a custom design. Admittedly, this meant that I […]
Middle Eastern Ketubot With Arabesque and Hamsa design elements are perennial favorites for couples who want a distinctly traditional Jewish look to their ketubah. I decided to make two new designs that merge the two themes. I tried something a bit different for these two ketubahs. Instead of placing the text inside of a square […]
Trees! I created a new papercut ketubah design to honor trees and brought back and simplified one of my previous custom made designs. There is no more wonderful symbol for a marriage than a tree.

This design came out very serene and elegant and I loved making it for them. It is large, at almost 24″ in height and […]
Efrat and Josh were kind enough to share photos from their beautiful wedding. They chose an intertwined tree ketubah for their wedding. This is a new design that I just put on my website, so it’s making its debut along with the photos from their wedding. This design differs a bit from my usual way of […]
This papercut ketubah features an Art Deco inspired design, with a stylized tree along with the clean lines and strong verticals that characterize the look. It’s available now in the shop.
Adding a new design to my catalog is always exciting and this time is no exception. Mizrach means East in Hebrew. This design is inspired by classical motifs that Mizrachi Jews would be quite familiar with. This is a four layer design. It means that four layers have to fit perfectly together. Since these are not […]
