Hey y’all!

Great news, for all of our Jewish friends on Brazil, and the 6 or 7 remaining Jews in Portugal: we now have Ketubot in Portuguese!

Since we spend half of our time in Buenos Aires, we are neighbors with Brazil and visit there regularly. Most recently, our very own Brad Ari Nickelbaum went to São Luís for Carneval a few weeks ago. Life is tough here in South America. But as they say, “Brazil is the land of the future… and always will be.” But did you know that observation was first made in a book by… an Austrian Jew (surprise, surprise) who moved to Brazil? Stefan Zweig, we miss you.

See our Ketubah texts (including Portuguese) page for the details — and if you want a Portuguese Ketubah, just ask!

Just wanted to let you know the Ketubah arrived safely.
Looks great!  I will definitely send pictures after the wedding. Thank you for all your assistance and prompt service!

Thank you so much for our beautiful Ketubah!  We received many compliments on it.

Today’s fun request for a commissioned Ketubah… a Star Wars Ketubah!

I personally hope that the Bride wears her hair like Princess Lea at the wedding.

The million-zuzim question: Was Princess Lea Jewish? After all, (1) her name is “Leah”, (2) she is a Princess, and (3) she was played by the Jewish Carrie Fisher!

 I found out about you guys because I wanted a nice ketubah that was more like a piece of art. I stumbled across your site which I immediately liked because of the options of artwork and also site itself (it’s simplicity and ease of use). I only found out afterword that you donate the profits, which makes me even happier I chose you… Thank you so much! We love the ketubah and can’t wait to get it framed.

Jessica and I have our Ketubah hanging in our home with extreme pride.  We LOVE that beyond everything it represents symbolically, it is also a piece of art that we are excited and proud to display on our wall. We couldn’t wait to hang ours!  We get nothing but huge compliments on it…

What Size Should My Ketubah Be?

Ketubah Size Comparison
Click here to see the image enlarged

Short answer: 16×24 is the classic size and a great size for most couples. Long answer: Keep reading below! We offer lots of sizes and would love to help you find the perfect size for you! See our size comparison analysis below, and see the image above (click here to enlarge), and if you want even more information, send us an email!

We know that there are too many things to choose from when it come to buying a Ketubah, and most of the time, we have no idea which option is the right one, and when it comes to size how are you supposed to picture what the final Ketubah will look like if all you get a couple of numbers. I am going to try and compare the sizes for you to put each one into perspective, and hopefully allow you to make an informed decision.

10×15 – This is our smallest, and most “easy to use” option. It is big enough to be hung on the wall but small enough to be filled away if you do not have enough space to hang it just yet. It is approximately the size of one of those super size cereal boxes. You can check out all the possible options with  this size here.

13×19.5 – This size is already large enough to include two texts, but won’t be drawing a lot of attention on a mantelpiece. The closest we can think of to relate this size to would be a placemat, but please don’t eat of your Ketubah :)

16×21 – The Classic Ketubah Size! The standard size available for Ketubot, allows you to include two text options, it is just the right size for almost any wall in your house, allows for easy reading of the texts, and frames are readily available in any frame shop. This size can be compared to that of a Movie poster you might have had hanging in your college dorm and it is available in all our different materials.

20×30 – An impressive piece of art that will draw you in, makes the perfect wall centerpiece balancing out the room, and providing a focal point. At this size you have the possibility of including 3 text options allowing you to include a language that represents your heritage, or a language you are deeply passionate about making this Ketubah unique just for you. This Ketubah has been compared to a small cottage’s window.

See More Modern, Awesome Ketubot!
