Papercut Ketubot
by Esti HorwitzComments Off on Papercut Ketubot
Papercut Ketubot are a wonderful tradition, combining both the Ashkenazi and the Sephardi worlds. The art of the Papercut Ketubah is beautiful and classic — and really stands out.
The papercuts usually combine the traditional Ashkenaz tradition, with the flair and style of the Sephardim.
We strongly recommend a papercut Ketubah to any couple who wants to combine both halves of the Jewish tradition.
The King of the Papercut Ketubot is Danny Azoulay, of course. But there’s a new team that has just launched a creative and wonderful (and kosher!) line of paper ketubot: the Papercut Collection from This is not a Ketubah. If you want to bring together both sides, they are worth a try. We’ve only had excellent experiences with them.

The Orthodox Union has come out to declare that the fictional restaurant on the TV show Breaking Bad would not be kosher under the laws of kashrut — despite the restaurant on the TV show have the classic OU circular logo all over it!
I’m glad they’re dealing with the important issues.

Vowelized Ketubot?
by Esti Horwitzposted in BlogComments Off on Vowelized Ketubot?
The Ketubah is traditionally created without any vowels.
This has been the Jewish tradition for thousands of years, for a few reasons, including: vowels were traditionally used as a learning-aid for children, not in official, formal, aor legal texts.
If you’re interested in a Ketubah with vowels, a few of our artists might be able to create it. So just contact us and we’ll see what we can do!
