Learn how to create the perfect ketubah for your ceremony
You can combine our options in many different ways, allowing you to create a ketubah that perfectly fits the needs and traditions of your ceremony.
Options for an Interfaith Ketubah
All designs on Modern Ketubah were created specifically to be used for interfaith weddings. You have a lot of flexibility when creating an interfaith ketubah. I recommend the following options:
Hebrew text:
Interfaith Hebrew, Translation of English Text, Translation of Custom English, or None
English text:
Interfaith 1, Interfaith 2, Interfaith 3 were writted specifically for Interfaith couples, but all of my English texts are open and inclusive to people from all backgrounds.
To create an Reform Jewish ketubah, I recommend the following options:
Hebrew text:
Reform Hebrew, Reform Translation of English Text, or Translation of Custom English
English text:
Standard, Short Text, Non-denominational, Commitment 1, Commitment 2, Custom
Signatures:
Bride, Groom, Rabbi, Witness, Witness
Options for a Non-denominational Ketubah
A Non-denomination ketubah is one that makes no mention of any specific religious beliefs. To create a non-denominational ketubah, you would probably not use any Hebrew text. But you can select any of my English texts, since I wrote them to be inclusive to people from any background. You could also write your own text, to make it more personal. I have had bilingual couples replace the Hebrew text with a translation of the English in their second language.
Hebrew text:
No Hebrew text
English text:
Select any
Poetic Verse:
Have only in English
Signatures:
Bride, Groom, Officiant, Witness, Witness
Options for a Conservative Jewish Ketubah
A Conservative Jewish ketubah can only use one text for the Hebrew: the "Conservative Hebrew" text, which takes the traditional Aramaic text, and adds some modern language (the "Lieberman Clause"). (See the translation here.) However, you can chose any English text that you'd like to complement it.
Hebrew text:
Conservative with Lieberman Clause (This is the only text allowed for Conservative ceremonies.)
English text:
Standard, Short Text, Non-denominational, Commitment 1, Commitment 2, Custom
Signatures:
Bride, Groom, Rabbi, Witness, Witness
Options for an Orthodox Jewish Ketubah
An Orthodox Jewish ketubah can only use one text for the Hebrew: the "Orthodox Hebrew" text, which is a traditional Aramaic text. (See the translation here.) However, you can chose any English text that you'd like to complement it.
Hebrew text:
Orthodox (This is the only text allowed for Orthodox ceremonies.)
English text:
None, Standard, Short Text, Non-denominational, Commitment 1, Commitment 2, Custom
Signatures:
Bride, Groom, Rabbi, Witness, Witness
Options for a Ketubah for a Gay or Lesbian Couple
The texts which are labeled "commitment" avoid the use of gender-specific words such as "bride". To create a ketubah for a Gay or Lesbian wedding, I recommend the following options:
Hebrew text:
Commitment
English text:
Commitment 1, Commitment 2, or a Custom English Text
An "anniversary ketubah" is created to celebrate a significant wedding anniversary, or a renewal of vows. To create an anniversary ketubah, I recommend the following options:
Hebrew text:
None
English text:
Anniversary, or Custom English Text
Signatures:
No signatures
Options for a Christian or Non-Jewish "Ketubah"
The ketubah is becoming increasingly popular among non-Jewish couples who want to add the spirit of this tradition to their own wedding. To create a 'ketubah' for another religion, you need to not include any Hebrew text. My Standard English text was written to appeal to a wide-range of traditions. But you might to make changes to it, or write your own custom text, in order to incorporate any specific aspects of your religion.
Hebrew text:
No Hebrew text
English text:
Select any (Custom is recommended)
Poetic Verse:
Have only in English
Signatures:
Bride, Groom, Officiant (whatever title is used), Witness, Witness

Write your own text for your ketubah

Edit one of my texts: If you like one of my English texts, but want it to say something a little more, you can make some changes: Add $35
Write your own English Text: If you know exactly what you want your ketubah to say, you can write your own custom English text, and I will professionally typeset it into your ketubah: Add $75-125
Custom Hebrew Text: I can also translate your custom English text into Hebrew: Add $50-75
Choose a size for your ketubah
Every ketubah we sell is available in two sizes:
Standard: 11" x 15" (on a 13x19" sheet of archival cotton rag paper) for $300
Large: 15" x 20.5" (on a 17x22" sheet of archival cotton rag paper) for $360
Change the poetic verse
Your ketubah includes a traditional poetic verse as part of its design, written in both English and Hebrew.
You can have this verse be in both English and Hebrew, or just English
Or you can change the poetic verse to one of our other options: Add $35
Customize the signature lines
Each ketubah has space for five signatures at the bottom, for the Bride, Groom, Rabbi, and two Witnesses. This is the most common number of signatures used. If you'd like, you can:
add one or two more lines, if you are having two officiants, or more witnesses.
change the labels of any of these signature lines to match your own ceremony
