A. Ketubah is a woman’s bill of rights that involves a monetary commitment.  Historically speaking, the rabbis did not want a man to divorce his wife since women used to be dependent on men.  You’re not allowed to live with your partner until there is a ketubah, and its main purpose is to give a woman a sense of protection.  The ketubah has less importance now but nevertheless is still important.

If you are looking to have your ketubah designed from scratch or add accent colors, monograms, or tweak a few things to an already existing design, custom options are for you. I work with couples in having their ideas and visions transmitted into their own unique Ketubah, even if the couple doesn’t have a clear idea of the outcome.

“We absolutely love our Ketubah from Melody. She worked with us not only to design it exactly to our taste, but also with our Rabbi to get the wording exactly right. It was absolutely perfect and it looks so beautiful in our home. Thank you Melody for delivering such a perfect work of art that we will treasure forever.”
