Lettered Border with Oak Leaves
Medium:
Goache

This ketuba was made for an anniversary, as a surprise for the husband. The wife wanted a ketuba that was traditional in feel and included Jerusalem, four small symbols, and both the Hebrew and English for the quote from the B'aal Shem Tov:

"From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being."

Interspersed between the letters for the quote in Hebrew are oak leaves, a refrence to strength tree of life.
