Garden of Eden
Date 5767 (2006)
Description
Another very unusual and striking ketuba. The Aurora Borealis lights up the skies over the Western Wall on one side and my interpretation of the Garden of Eden on the other, the two special requests of the young couple.
A full moon illuminates the sky with the Aurora Borealis.
The Hamsa, a symbol to ward off evil spirits, was another requested visual element the couple was hoping to see.
The unusual Menorah (see detail below) was the idea of the groom - both their first names and the family name begin with an "aleph" and this was the result. The flames illuminate the surrounding leaves.
A detail of the pool at the bottom of the waterfall in the Garden of Eden.
The Garden of Eden.
