FAQs
Can I suggest/personalize a design to purchase?
Yes! I would love nothing more than to offer the exact artwork you want — even if you’re not entirely sure what it is. Let’s work together and figure it out.
Do You Ship Overseas?
At this time (summer 2025), I won’t ship outside of the United States. I have no control over when/if/what tariffs will be levied, and by whom, and it is a level of stress neither of us need.
All About Ketubahs
My Partner Isn’t Jewish. Can We still get a ketubah?
Absolutely. The ketubah may be a 2000 year old legal document in its truest form, assigning financial roles to each party, but it is also a connection to Jewish history and is a beautiful symbol of commitment.
The ketubah is a visual reminder of the promises you make to each other on your wedding day. And, as a custom order, it will reflect your love and partnership in a very personal way.
How much will my ketubah cost?
I can’t give you an exact answer until we talk particulars. However, I can say that it will likely be between (TBD). This amount includes the design fee and the production fee.
Payment will be split into two: when I begin designing your ketubah and when you approve and agree to production based on the draft(s) I’ve shared with you.
How Long Will It Take To Make?
Your ketubah must be ordered at least six (6) weeks in advance of when you need it. This does not include the time it takes to ship to you.
What If I Need It Sooner?
As long as I can fit you into my schedule, I can accommodate a rush order. Please contact me. However, a rush fee of (TBD) will be added to your production fee.
Do You Offer Framing?
Not at this time.
Will My Ketubah Be Kosher?
A ketubah is considered kosher by its text. This may or may not be important to you. However, the various legal texts I offer come from reliable, Judaic sources (TBD).
Once I get your information, I will send you a digital proof of the text. You will need to check with your rabbi to make sure they approve the text before you approve my design.
One day I’ll write a blog on the story of my own ketubahs. That’s right, I have 2 for the same marriage — one kosher (and utilitarian) and one decorative.

Why Do I Need To Choose A Text? What’s The Difference?
The traditional text of a ketubah hasn’t changed in 2000 years but many folks prefer modernized, egalitarian, and/or LGBTQ+-friendly text. I offer the following options:
- A
- B
- C
You can find text options on my text page.
Can I Customize The Text?
Yes, but…
The “but” is because if you’d like to change the text from the main part of the ketubah, it will no longer be kosher — if you don’t care, and your officiant doesn’t care, then I don’t care. However, if you want your ketubah to be kosher, we can add customized text elsewhere on the ketubah. It would be a wonderful, personal addition!
What Color Options Do I Have?
I’m open to all colors. I love color. We can talk colors during the planning stage.
How Much Is Shipping?
Shipping is free within the United States, so long as it is not a rush job. If it is, the couple will pay the difference between First Class and Overnight shipping.
At this time (summer 2025), I won’t ship outside of the United States. I have no control over when/if/what tariffs will be levied, and by whom, and it is a level of stress neither of us need.
What Size Ketubahs Do You Offer?
I offer square or circle ketubahs that are 12″ x 12″, and rectangular ketubahs that are 11″ x 17″.
What Is Included In My Purchase Of A Ketubah With You?
- One museum- and heirloom-quality ketubah, designed with you, and with the text approved by you (and your officiant, if necessary)
- All revisions and edits are included
- A digital proof for final approval
- Free shipping **so long as it’s not a rush job**
