Description: | This ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) is printed with the long-established Aramaic text of traditional ketubot (plural of 'ketubah'), and would have been given to Rachel to ensure her maintenance and welfare in the event of Joseph's death or their divorce. Joseph Katz (born 1876) came to England from Lomza in Poland in about 1891, and worked as a ladies' tailor in Stepney, in the East End. His wife Rachel came to England when she was about five years old from Prushnitz, also in Poland, and attended the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields. They had five children. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
