The Modern Ketubah Blog

In this blog I will discuss what goes into creating ketubot, ideas about wedding ceremonies and traditions, and answer some of the questions and comments from the couples I've worked with. Subscribe to this blog

From Matthew and Kathleen

By Daniel Sroka  /  May 14th, 2008  /  Testimonials    

“I’m happy to let you know why we were drawn to your artwork rather than “traditional” ketubahs out there — “traditional” is the opposite of what we wanted. The artwork on just about every other ketubah out there looks like it’s straight off of the stained-glass windows of my old synagogue. We are an interfaith couple — so anything with really heavy Jewish symbolism we were going to rule out immediately. We want a home where the representation of our backgrounds are in balance. We were searching for was something we’d be interested in having hanging on our wall even WITHOUT the marriage contract wording on it… we could’ve picked any number of yours.”

Matthew and Kathleen chose my Horizon ketubah of an autumn leaf.

From Christine and Mike

By Daniel Sroka  /  May 1st, 2008  /  Testimonials    

“We received our beautiful ketubah… I was blown away when I took it out of the package. It is more beautiful than I had imagined.

Being a Catholic girl, I never heard of a ketubah until Mike’s mom mentioned getting one. I began searching the internet for one that would fit the both of us — that both of us liked. I’m Catholic, he’s Jewish, neither are religious; it was not easy. So many ketubahs have religious pictures and neither of us wanted it to be only a religious document. We wanted art. I studied art and photography way back in high school… and immediately fell in love with all of your designs.

I am ecstatic with the results. I want to hang it up now! We both want to thank you for adding to our wedding memories and for giving us something we will cherish always.”

From Sarah and Jason

“Thank you so much for our Ketubah. We got married on 20 January in Cape Town — Jason is Jewish and I am Christian, so we mixed a few elements of both our religions in the ceremony and this was brilliant. We love having our Ketubah as it is a beautiful reminder of our wonderful day.”

From Shelby and Daniel

By Daniel Sroka  /  March 18th, 2008  /  Testimonials    

“While I did research for the wedding, I came across the Jewish tradition of ketubbot. Even though Daniel and I are non-Jews, we both loved the custom. We wanted to sign a religious marriage covenant, not just a secular marriage license. We decided on a Modern Ketubah ketubah, because the design is artistic and the text fits who we are. I can already envision the Tulip ketubah having in our bedroom. As for text, you allowed us to customize it to reflect our Christian faith while honoring the ketubah’s Jewish origin.”

Shelby and Daniel chose my Tulip ketubah.

"Your work is original and beautiful!"
