Artistic DirectorYael Magenheim
Yael Magenheim, an Argentine artist, has been designing Ketubot for fun since her first childhood friend got married. When not figuring out how to create the most fun Ketubah ever, she spends her time drawing, her first childhood passion that she still obsesses over today. Yael’s first love is Klimt, who has influenced and changed her life both artistically and emotionally. Although she stumbled into the Ketubah world accidentally, she spends her days and nights dreaming up new, better, more fun Ketubot. For the last three years, Yael has also volunteered at Ieladeinu, the Argentine Jewish Orphanage that This Is Not A Ketubah proudly supports. Yael also teaches advanced classic art at Scholem Aleijem in Buenos Aires.

Julian Portman’s passion and inspiration come, first and foremost, from music. Although his musical style has been profoundly influenced by the spectrum of bands from Death Cab for Cutie to Sigur Ros, in the This Is Not a Ketubah studio (where Julian is Team Ketubah’s lead software developer by day), Julian is primarily known for his sighs.
The SoferShaheen Levine-Rosse
Shaheen’s passions range from intensely interpreting ancient Judaic texts to cooking world-class Turkish-Israeli food. But above all, his depth at understanding Hebrew grammar and calligraphy, and ensuring the perfection of every Ketubah, to the punctuation. He also loves vintage clothing.
Ketubah EvangelistNina Osorovsky
Nina Osorovsky’s discovered Ketubot in a roundabout way: through cooking. Her obsession with finding the right ingredients and creating new and fun ways to bring them together, to cook food that is tasty and, of course, Kosher has led Nina (when she is not working closely coordinating the arts team) to take on the unofficial title of the Team Ketubah Chef.
Chief Financial OfficerRoxana Barcan
Roxana’s deepest passions are her love of weddings — and her love of non-profit finances. As the Chief Financial Officer of This is not a Ketubah, she brings together both of these passions: she spends her mornings helping happy couples get the perfect marriage contract, and her afternoons helping us decide which charities to donate our proceeds to. Not to mention, she’s the funniest one on the team.
Talent ManagerJacob Kreimer
Jacob Kreimer was raised in the quiet suburbs of New Jersey before he disappeared into Boston to study Smart People Stuff and then reappeared….in Buenos Aires. He is the friendliest and best-energy guy to work closely with any couple that is interested in Team Ketubah. From concept to doorstep, Jacob will make it happen seamlessly. In his spare time, he translates the Bible into contemporary street slang.
