Here are a couple sweet photographs from Beth and Chris’ ketubah signing:
Beth and Chris chose my Autumn Gold ketubah of a Japanese maple leaf.
Modern Ketubah is proud to now offer interfaith couples three new texts written specifically for them. I have written these new texts to honor how an interfaith marriage represents the coming together of two traditions, a merging of two different families into one new, stronger one. Here are a sample of what each new Interfaith text says:
- Interfaith 1: “Our lives are now forever intertwined. Our similarities will bind us, our differences will enrich us, and our love will define us.”
- Interfaith 2: “We approach this ketubah as two individuals with different backgrounds and individual lives, but shall leave it as one couple, one family, joined in love and commitment to each other.”
- Interfaith 3: “We will create a home built on the foundations of our traditions, and nurtured by the values of our families.”
Learn about all of the options you have available for your interfaith ketubah. To read these new texts, visit my page on text options for your ketubah and choose Interfaith 1, Interfaith 2, or Interfaith 3 from the menu for English texts.
Modern Ketubah is proud to now offer interfaith couples new choices to better customize their ketubahs. Each of my ketubah features a large poetic verse incorporated into the design. These verses usually come from Jewish tradition, such as “Ani l’dodi v’dod li” (I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine), which a very popular phrase for Jewish weddings which comes from the Song of Solomon.
To help interfaith couples make their ketubah more inclusive of both of their traditions, I have added a number of new poetic verses from a variety of non-traditional and non-religous sources, including Aristotle, Thoreau, and Ghandi. Through these words, any couple should be able to find a sentiment that best expresses what their ketubah means for them:
- Love must be as much a light as it is a flame (Henry Thoreau)
- Life is the flower for which love is the honey (Victor Hugo)
- To live without loving is not really to live (Moliere)
- Where there is love there is life (Gandhi)
- Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies (Aristotle)
These verses can be added to any of my designs. To see all of the verses available for your ketubah, visit my page on options for your ketubah. If you have a suggestion for another verse, please let me know.
