Description:
A contemporary ketubah yet with traditional symbols such as the two protecting lions facing each other.
The Lion of Judah was the symbol of the Israelite tribe of Judah in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible (Torah, or Old Testament).
Within Judaism, the Biblical Judah (in Hebrew: Yehuda) is the original name of the Tribe of Judah – traditionally symbolized by a lion. In Genesis, the patriarch Jacob (“Israel”) refers to his son Judah as a Gur Aryeh גּוּר אַרְיֵה יְהוּדָה , a “Young Lion” (Genesis 49:9) when blessing him. In Jewish naming tradition the Hebrew name and the substitute name are often combined as a pair, as in this case.
The two doves symbolize peace and love between the groom and the bride, and the tree of life with long lasting roots stands for the Jewish background of the couple.
The word Bashert, (Yiddish: באַשערט) is a Yiddish word that means “destiny” is carved on the stones arch. Vines are growing around the holding stones at the top.
Words from Song of Songs on the side of the columns and near the lions.
