Ketubah styles
Views of Jerusalem, the Old City and the land of Israel.
Jerusalem and landscape ketubahs place your marriage within a sense of place: the Old City walls, the Western Wall, olive trees and hills rendered in paint and gold. They are especially meaningful for couples with a deep connection to Israel.
Jerusalem, Israel
Trained at Jerusalem's Bezalel Academy, Danny Azoulay works in hand-cut paper, painting, and gold leaf to create ketubahs rooted in classical Jewish ornament. His studio has produced marriage contracts for couples on every continent, each one built around detailed papercut borders and luminous color.
Jerusalem, Israel
Jerusalem-born artist Noam Shargorodsky creates handmade ketubahs using oils, watercolors, and 23k gold leaf under the studio name Ketubahome. Her pieces draw on Jewish texts and Israeli landscapes, with Jerusalem, the Old City, and the Western Wall recurring throughout her work.
United States
Susan Leviton pairs delicate papercutting with soft watercolor backgrounds, often painting scenes of Jerusalem above hand-lettered Aramaic text. Her ketubahs have a quiet, devotional feel and a strong sense of place.
