Beautifully
decorated ketubbot, or marriage contracts, have been part of Jewish
tradition for a long time. Once hand-written on parchment in Aramaic and
decorated with folk designs, these documents have evolved with the times.
Today, many couples want a ketubbah that expresses their individuality
and their taste, both in the design and the content of the finished ketubbah.
However, the cost of such a document custom prepared by hand can be high.
Philip
Ritari created custom ketubbot for many couples in the 1980's.
Recently, he has combined
|
his
interest in digital design with advances in technology and is
able to offer couples ketubbot
that have the individuality of a handwritten
ketubbah, together with the more reasonable cost of a printed ketubbah.
The
text for the ketubbah is custom typeset, using the exact wording,
and in whatever language(s), the couple wishes. The design can be chosen
from a set of stock designs and altered to suit the couple's exact tastes,
or can be created entirely from scratch, using graphics, drawings or even
photographs to make the finished
product something to be treasured for a long time.

The
ketubbah is printed on acid-free fine art paper, using archival
inks, so that it will remain a treasured piece of art for many years.

you are interested in the possibility of ordering a ketubbah from Philip
Ritari for your wedding or commitment ceremony, send email
