Description: | This ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) is printed with the long-established Aramaic text of traditional ketubot (plural of 'ketubah'). The Hebrew date of the marriage (6 Tamuz 5678) and the Hebrew names of Morris and Leah (Moshe and Leah) are completed by hand. The signatures of the groom and witnesses are just visible at the bottom of the document. The ketubah would have been given to Leah to ensure her maintenance and well-being in the event of Morris's death or their divorce. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
