Description

The Arbor Ketubah weaves traditional quotes from the biblical love poem, The Song of Songs, into and among the branches of two intertwining trees, symbolizing the shared and growing love and commitment of the bride and groom.

Delicate blue, green and brown watercolor trees, leaves and flowers are adorned with birds that add a pop of color to the elegant Arbor Ketubah. The original design was created by Mickie in 2007 using pen and ink & watercolor and gold foil was added to the offset lithograph after printing in Israel on archival paper.

For the B- Traditional Aramaic with Contemporary English (Orthodox) text, the two witnesses sign in both Hebrew & English.

Actual quotes from the Arbor Ketubah

Intertwined in the center of the trees, flowers and birds, in gold foil, the following quote is rendered in beautiful calligraphy (in English and Hebrew):

My beloved spoke and said to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land.

At the top of the artwork, the quotes in gold foil:

• I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine
• אני לדודי ודודי לי

Above and below the ketubah text, the quotes in gold foil:

• I have found the one in whom my soul delights
• מצאתי את שאהבה נפשי
