The Babylon Ketubah

The Jews have been an integral part of the Persian Empire since, at least, the ancient historical and biblical era of Cyrus, who let us practice our religion and rebuild our temple. The Persian Jews have a unique style, visible in the everything from the architecture to the style of liturgy, that combines thousands of years of Judaism with thousands of years of Persian culture. The blend of both Persian influence with Jewish heritage and religion comes together in this beautiful Ketubah.

The Babylon Ketubah is a distinctive work of art, nothing like the ketubot of any other Jewish community, ancient or modern. The Babylon Ketubah contains beautiful, elaborate details and rich bronzes and golds — a decorative flair commonly associated with the Persian Jewish community. The sturdy and bold framing around the overall design is reminiscent of many elements seen in traditional Ketubot within the Persian Empire.
