Ketubahs of Love Art Exhibit & Reception brings together dozens of partners’ ketubot (the illuminated marriage contract) to celebrate our diversity, creativity, art, commitments, families, and most of all LOVE!
The illuminated art Ketubah of Love! An ancient, artistic and proto-feminist Jewish tradition for marriage, signed at the wedding, witness by close friends, propped up on an easel at the celebration, and eventually hung in the home (like the four poles of a chuppah wedding canopy) as a daily reminder to the couple to manifest their loving partnership. At every Jewish wedding, the couple, rabbi and witnesses sign a document whose words have the power to protect, and whose customized art has the power to soar with the couple’s symbolic and heart-centered intentions. Every “Ketubah” tells a unique story of love. Every Ketubah is designed with intentionality to express the beloveds’ inner joy and yearnings, to support and share who they are and who they become when interwoven in a life of loving audacity amidst a broken world.
In this first-ever community Ketubahs of Love Art Exhibit, we invited community members to share their own framed Ketubah art with us – from off the wall of their home and into our gallery for the entire February month of Love, with a festive Reception on February 9. All welcome to see, learn, contribute, mingle and delight in the variation of Ketubah Art designs.
You can be part of this creative and meaningful installation, by sharing your illuminated Ketubah and story. Submit your information here by January 30.
Brought to you by Beit Ahavah, the House of Love, the Ketubahs of Love art exhibit will be on display all month in the beautiful Peacock Room throughout community events, celebrations, services and a reception on Sunday, February 9.
