The ten beautiful Chupot (Wedding Canopies) contained in this piece correspond to the ten Chupot that G-d created for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Talmud Bava Bathra 75a).
In addition, the last of the Shevah Brachot speaks of the tremendous simchah the couple will have through the creation of their new home together. This is expressed through ten synonyms of joy, which uniquely correspond to the Ten Utterances through which HaKadosh Baruch Hu created the world. (Zohar 1:265a) The Brachah goes on to say that the joy should be heard “…in the cities of Yehudah and the streets of Yerushalayim…”.
Therefore, I was inspired to place ten Chupot in and amongst Yerushalayim, thereby linking all the elements together and underlining the foundational relationship of husband and wife with Hashem Yitborach.
Original artwork created with watercolor on paper. The state-of-the-art Giclee print process is combined with hand-applied gold gouache to give the piece a true fine art appearance and feel. In addition, the edges of the paper are hand-torn, creating a beautiful and unique deckle effect.
Each Ketubah is printed on textured paper and elegantly enclosed within a thick paper folder surrounded by a clear plastic protective sleeve.
Each size edition size is limited to 180 pieces.
Ketubah Text Details and Ordering Process: The Ketubah is the foundational document of a Jewish wedding and marriage. Each Ketubah is custom-prepared with the details specific for each bride and groom.
Each Nusach, or text, is custom-prepared here in the studio with all details that are specific and relevant to each couple. All Traditional texts (Ashkenazic, Sephardic, second marriage, etc.) are available for use. We generally advise the couple to consult with their Mesader Kiddushin/officiating Rabbi and ask which text he prefers, and for him to provide the date, location, correct name spellings, and all other relevant details needed for completion of the Ketubah.
Once we receive all the details, a sample copy will be prepared and sent to you for the officiating Rabbi to approve. Upon approval, the Ketubah will be custom printed, packaged and sent out to you.
Please contact us with your requirements and we will be happy to explain the brief process, answer all questions and let you know the time frame for getting the Ketubah to you.
