This ketubah combines multi levels of imagery. The inner section surrounding the ketubah text depicts the cycle of the Jewish holidays, represented within the fourteen stars. The box in the lower section is a blessing composed by the bride and groom. Supported by the two columns is a quote in gold from the Sheva Brachot (wedding blessings), “The voice of joy and the voice of happiness” The outer section is a landscape of rolling hills with an olive tree. All of this is framed with a collection of blessings, to be bestowed upon the bride and groom.
