Description:
The doves symbolize the groom and the bride.
The two doves are holding olive leaves which symbolizing the peace between the groom and the bride.
The origin of the dove holding the olive leaf comes from the Old Testament (Noah and the Ark).
The roses stand for the great love that will blossom throughout their long life together. Rose is a symbol of love and beauty.
An ancient Yamman song blessing the couple is placed around the ketubah as a nice border.
In Judaism, the dove signified the love of God for His Chosen People, the Israelites. White doves, signs of purity, were sacrificial offerings offered for purification at the Temple in Jerusalem. The Old Testament symbolized the dove in various forms. The dove was frequently used in the “Song of Songs,” largely to convey terms of endearment: in their behavior, the doves paired for a long time. “Oh how beautiful, your eyes are like doves …” (Songs 1: 15). “Oh that I had wings of a dove to fly away and be at rest …” (Psalm 55: 6).
The Hebrew word for dove is Yonah , coming from the root meaning of a moaning sound, “I moan like a dove” (Is 38: 14). This would explain the call of many species of doves. The turtle-dove (Tor in Hebrew) is by far the most common of the dove species.
According to the biblical story (Genesis 8:11), a dove was released by Noah after the flood in order to find land; it came back carrying an olive leaf in its beak, telling Noah that, somewhere, there was land. Christians used Noah’s dove as a peace symbol
