One of the most exciting things about creating Ketubot, for us, is the wonderful and often weird combination of languages that we create ketubot on! Part of our uniqueness, within the Ketubah universe, is our excitement to create a Ketubah in any language you want under the sun — and we even have our own Ketubah texts in over a dozen languages, from French and German and Spanish to Russian and Polish!

But today’s Ketubah takes the cake: we just created a Ketubah for a couple in Canada who wanted their Ketubah in English, Maori and Gaelic. Yes, the Maori — the indigenous language of New Zealand! And yes, Gaelic — the ancient language of the British Isles! Who knew there were even speakers?

We’re very proud of creating this combination — and all our other creative combinations!

Do you want to create a Ketubah in a less-common language? Let us know! We’re here to help! :)

Among our favorite Ketubahs to create are Ketubahs for grandparents, who have finally found the perfect partner at this stage of life. Sometimes, it takes decades of searching, and earlier attempts to find the right partner.

We have exciting news: we have a brand new Ketubah text, for a mature couple who are joining two large, multi-generational families. The text is beautiful and unique, and perfect for the couple who spent decades looking for their soulmate and now — after children and grandchildren! — finally found their beshert.

We usually think of Ketubot as being for the young couple. But that’s not the case at all — neither historically, nor today. Historically, older women whose husbands passed away would commonly remarry. Here’s an example from my personal family story: my great-grandfather came over from Minsk to New York. He saved up money, and sent it back to that they could send his wife over. And when she arrived… who stepped off the ship? Her younger sister. The older sister had died in the meantime. The younger sister became my great-grandmother so I, personally, am very happy that this happened!

Today, remarriages and waiting longer to find your perfect partner are increasingly common. The average age of first marriages in the US has increased tremendously over the last decades — and for second marriages, even more! Science is following up quickly, too: older women can have children later and later. Perhaps soon immortality might follow — who knows with modern technology!

Here at This is not a Ketubah, Yes it is believe that it is important that every couple find their right partner, no matter what their age is. Sometimes, it just takes a half-century.

And no matter how long it took you and your partner to find each other, we would love to have the honor and privilege of having this small but special role in your wedding day and create your Ketubah for you!

We have another mini-milestone that we’re excited to share: our very first Korean Ketubah!!!

Our awesome couple is a couple where the guy was born Jewish, and the girl was born to parents who are Korean (both in the USA). What a great combination (I say with a knowing smirk, having gone to a high school where all of the non-Iranians in my high school were either Ashkenazi Jews or Korean-Americans!).

They wanted the Ketubah to reflect both cultures. So, we not only included the text in multiple languages, but: we added in a Korean quote to the art!

Adding quotes to the art is one of our favorite and most recommended methods to customize the art to make it unique for you. And when we add in the quote, it doesn’t need to be in English. It can be in any language you want, so long as we can figure out how to do it!

If you want a Korean Ketubah — just ask! We’d love to work with you to make the perfect Ketubah for you two!

Many of our Asian ketubahs would look great — but we can add a Korean phrase to any Ketubah you want! Just let us know!

Our favorite Ketubot are often the ones that combine different cultures together artistically. We get lots of beauty from bringing very disparate styles together :) Onwards and upwards!!!
