Shalom
The text of this ketubah is surrounded by excerpts from the Bible, in Hebrew and
English, about peace. A couple about to be married pray not only for shalom bayit, peace within the
household, but for peace within the community and the world. The oval shape symbolizes harmony and
continuity, and the outside border designs continue these themes. The outer edge of the ketubah is
graced with Hebrew and English excerpts from Shir Hashirim, the Song of Songs, which include some
of the Torah's most beautiful messages of love. In each corner diamond is written the phrase "I am
my beloved's and my beloved is mine" in Hebrew. May you always be blessed with peace and may the
world we live in know peace today and forevermore.
