Looking for the most traditional text option for your Ketubah? One that has been used for hundreds (since the Talmudic era!) of years by the Jewish people? Did your Rabbi tell you to get “any Orthodox text” but not sure what he meant? Read on!

For our most religious text option, Team Ketubah uses The Traditional Orthodox Aramaic Text as published by the Rabbinic Council of America. The RAC is an organization of over 1,000 Orthodox rabbis from across the world, which services the Orthodox rabbinate and partners with various Jewish organizations to promote the welfare, interest professionalism among Orthodox rabbis.

Team Ketubah uses the exact exact text offered by the RCA on their website, the standard among North American Orthodox and Modern Orthodox Rabbis. You can download the official RAC Aramaic Text PDF by clicking here.

The RAC also has a recommend English, and we’re glad to use that as well! Choose these options on your Order Form and we’ll get started on your proof in no time!

Having trouble filling out your Ketubah Information Sheet? Not sure if you should include your parent’s middle names in the Ketubah? If your using one of our Progressive Texts — Reform, Interfaith, or Humanist — Here is some help to guide you!

Progressive Text Questions:
Reform, Interfaith + Humanist
Our #1 Advice: Check with your Rabbi or Officiant!

• Combining New & Old Traditions: There is lots of flexibility with how you choose to include the information! On more traditional texts, such as the Orthodox text, the customs and rules are stricter — but our more progressive texts are totally up to the couple!
• Do we have to put our middle names? If you’re uncertain if you want to include both your Middle and Last names, it’s up to you! The same is true for your parents. In the Very Old Country, Jews didn’t have Last Names, and Parents names were used as an identifier to a specific person. Use what feels most comfortable and natural to you!
• Write exactly how you want the names to appear on the Ketubah Information Sheet. This will help us have a super-fast turn-around on your Ketubah!
• Deceased Parents: For Orthodox Ketubah, there is a particular way to note that a parent has passed. For Progressive Ketubah, what matters the most is that you feel you are honoring your parents’ memory, and keeping your identity! For most couples, include the deceased parent’s name on the Ketubah without changing the text
• Omitting Parents: If you’d like to omit a parent’s name from the Ketubah, we’re happy to do what makes you feel the most comfortable! Please indicate it on the Ketubah Information Sheet by writting “omit”. Blank spaces confuse us!
• Our #1 advice is: check with your Rabbi or Officiant! Since they’ll be overseeing the ceremony, we want to make sure they 100% love the Ketubah, and approve it! That’s why we always send you digital Pre-Proof Prints, and we’ll never send to print without the Green Light from you!

So, fill out the form in the way you feel most comfortable, share it with your Rabbi, and we look forward to getting started when you send it back our way :)

Re-Usable Commissioned Ketubah — $675

The same incredible artist relationship as with our Full Commissioned Ketubah couples, but with the important caveat: once your wedding is over, we reserve the right to re-use your Ketubah design in our Gallery. Because we will re-use your Ketubah, it can not include a portrait nor other details that would be personal for you two, like a photo of your dog.

Many couples love the look and tradition of both Hebrew and English on their Ketubah, and Team Ketubah is excited to create something you’ll love forever. We’ve worked with all sorts of couples, and here’s some advice you might find useful!

What if the Bride, Groom, or someone in our family doesn’t have a Hebrew name, or doesn’t know what it is?
No Problem! Here a few things Team Ketubah can do:

• Phonetically Translate your English Names to Hebrew (recommended)
• You and your fiance choose “Best Fit” Hebrew names
• Omit the unknown from the Hebrew portion of the Ketubah

Of course, they’ll be space to indicate these options on our Ketubah Information Form, and we always send a Pre-Proof Print, so we can make any changes before you give us the “Green Light”.

As you read through our Text Options, couples sometimes have questions — and we’re here to help!

Rites vs. Rights

Several of our Ketubah texts mention “…rites of marriage,” which refers to the actual marriage ceremony itself. Meanwhile, rights refers to the legal entitlement after the ceremony.

For a little help, we checked in with our favorite dictionary (Merriam Webster!) for a little help:

• Rites:a prescribed form or manner governing the words or actions for a ceremony
• Rights: the power or privilege to which one is justly entitled

So, our texts refer to “Rites” as the ceremony itself, but could speak to the “Rights” after marriage just as well! Currently the default refers to the ceremony itself. If you’d like them changed, just ask!
