Artists
Israel is the spiritual home of the ketubah, and its artists work close to the tradition. You will find work from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and across the country. Expect Jerusalem skylines, 23k gold leaf, and hand papercut passed down through generations, alongside contemporary studios experimenting with color and form. Ordering from Israel often means working directly with the artist. Below are 18 Israeli makers, ordered so the strongest portfolios lead.
Every artist below links out to their own website, Instagram or shop, so you can see their full range and reach them directly. We feature artists editorially, with credit; we do not take a cut of their commissions.
