Your Ketubah - Considerations for Today’s Couple
Many couples are moved by the fact that, simply by signing a ketubah, they are contributing to a long unbroken chain of Jewish history, and future Jews’ ability to learn about our lives and remember us after we have gone.
As an interfaith wedding rabbi, I have seen this argument affect Jews and non-Jews alike very powerfully.
Now - even though you like the idea of a ketubah, you may not like what’s in a traditional version. It may feel old and antiquated - that’s because it is. I love to work with couples to figure out how we can reconstruct the language of a ketubah while keeping to its original spirit.
