When you come to the Ketubah Store you are looking for a specific part of Jewish culture. The Jewish Ketubah (or Ketuba or Katuba) is a formal part of the marriage ceremony in the Jewish religion. It is a ceremonial item and is similar to the marriage license. It forms a contract between the two people getting married and can be customized to suit them, with a wide variety of designs and text to choose from.
