Customize Your Ketubah Text
Edits You are welcome to request edits to one of these ketubah texts! Please let me know by email of any adjustments that you would like to make to the ketubah text that you choose. Another option is to send me a custom text that you write or find elsewhere.
Language You will have the opportunity to specify on the Ketubah Worksheet if you would like your ketubah text in both Hebrew/Aramaic and English, or in just one language, or if you would perhaps like to add a third language.
Mix & Match Feel free to use the Hebrew from one text and the English from another. In many cases, the Hebrew and English versions of a ketubah texts are actually not direct translations of each other. For example, while the Conservative Hebrew text is completely traditional, the Egalitarian Reform Hebrew text is a modernized and simplified version of the traditional Hebrew. Both of these English texts begin with a presentation of basic name and date information, similar to the Hebrew versions, and then continue with a more poetic declaration of the couple’s hopes and plans. I would be happy to walk you through the specifics of any Hebrew text by phone – please feel free to call any time!
Translation Let me know if you have an English text and would like it translated into Hebrew, and I'll be happy to refer you to a professional translator.
Formatting It's my goal to make your ketubah text look exactly the way you want it to look! Please check out my How To Order Your Ketubah page for information about some of your options.
Personalization Choose "personalization" when you add your ketubah to your shopping cart, and I will fill in all of the blanks in the text for you, and then print your text in a seamless paragraph on your ketubah.
Proof I will put together a proof of your ketubah text for you and your rabbi or officiant to check over. If you request any edits to your text, I will put together a new proof. I want to make sure your ketubah text is exactly the way you want it.
Same sex ketubah text Choose any ketubah text that you like best and I will adjust it as needed.
