Liza and Bill’s Ketubah

The main theme in Liza and Bill’s Ketubah is the coming together of the Masculine and feminine principles on a personal, earthly and cosmic level. The central symbol chosen was that of a Hamsa. The Hamsa resembles a hand and it is a Middle Eastern symbol of protection and blessing. Their text is contained within this symbol.

The bottom of the Ketubah represents the two as individuals. The left side represents Liza. It is a magical world of water and fairies, like Liza. The right side represents Bill and is designed from a photograph of one of Bill’s favorite spots; his tree house overlooking a pond. What ties these to separate places together is the tree in the center. Upon closer look, you will notice there is an image of a couple embracing within the bark of the tree. As your eyes scroll upward, you see a river flowing into the top of the tree. Taking in the whole image, the tree becomes a Kiddush cup representing the sanctity and Holiness of their union. The river represents the flow of abundance that is channeled through creating the vessel of union.
