V’ahavta: And You shall Love... 

(Love Series: Hebrew Edition)

The biblical word v’ahavta that means “And you shall love...” is a fitting Hebrew word to adorn a Ketubah. The ketubah is a permanent reminder to the couple to cherish the feelings of love they feel for each other, and the love shared with family and friends under their Huppah, into their home and future married life. The word “v’ahavta” is found in Leviticus: “love your neighbour as yourself.” In addition to romantic love, the Torah commands us to treat each other, our family, our neighbours, even the casual passerby as we ourselves want to be treated. Rabbi Akiva goes so far as to claim that this is the most important verse in the Torah. And, the mezuzah, too, contains the word “v’ahavta” — the first word in the paragraph from the Sh’ma prayer recited daily that commands us to love God, live Jewishly and teach Judaism to our children. Framed and proudly displayed in their home, the Ketubah, like a mezuzah, identifies the home as one that affirms Jewish values.

Say it with Flowers

Since Biblical times, flowers’ beauty and fragrance have been associated with love. The Song of Songs describes the opening of flowers after the winter rain. We still associate the rose with love, but each flower had its unique symbolic meaning. As different flowers and their colours represented different emotions, flower dictionaries that documented this language of flowers (called floriography) became popular. A bouquet was a visual poem that sent an encrypted message that might not be expressed aloud. Even today, children still use the daisy’s petals to discern a playmate's true love: he loves me, he loves me not. This ketubah uses flowers to communicate the word love literally. The ketubah background uses a high quality scan of flower petal paper. This paper (or similar paper) can be ordered for matching invitations.

Love 2.0

This romantic version in the Love Series expresses the essence of the Ketubah for modern couples. Inspired by the popular Love Period Ketubah, we wanted to create something softer and warmer while retaining a contemporary and simple design. The delicate illumination frames the bottom to balance the design and add a whimsical touch.

Love. Period. 

For this Ketubah we wanted to strip away all the unnecessary decoration and ornamentation of traditional Ketubot, while still making a strong statement that would communicate the essence of the marriage contract’s meaning. By combining attractive typesetting with the English word love, simply written in large letters, we have created a modern, minimalist design that elegantly captures a couple’s feelings.

Love is in the Air 

Even if you aren't planning on travelling around the world, life is often described as a journey. A hot-air balloon ride can be romantic, magical,  (sometimes bumpy) or even a little scary. Unlike most other forms of transportation, the final destination of a hot air balloon is not definite. The pilot does his/her best to navigate, but the wind cannot be predicted exactly. But once airborne, one sees the landscape below with a different perspective. And a hot air balloon ride is always best when done with someone you love.
