Description: Plum Street Temple
Media: Gouache (opaque watercolor)

This ketuba was made for a couple getting married at the Plum Street Temple in Cincinatti, Ohio. The Plum Street Temple is a fantastic piece of architecture built in 1866. The interior is ornately painted with multiple designs. Using similar colors and patterns to some of those found in the synagogue, I made a ketuba that evokes the feeling of the Temple. The Hebrew text at the top of the piece (in the blue bar) reads: zeh dodi v'zeh rayei, this is my beloved this is my friend.
