Ketubah

A ketubah is a very important document in Jewish tradition that is somewhat like a contract. When two Jewish people get married, they sign the ketubah as a promise to each other and to God. The ketubah tells about the responsibilities and rights that the couple has to each other. It is usually written in Hebrew, which is a special language that Jews use in religious ceremonies.

The ketubah is often beautifully decorated, and some couples even frame it and hang it in their home to remind them of their promises to each other. It helps make sure that the couple treats each other with respect, love, and kindness.

In olden days, the ketubah would often include a promise for the groom to provide for the bride, such as food, clothing, and shelter. The family of the bride would keep the ketubah to remind the groom of his promises. Today, the ketubah is mostly symbolic, but it is still an important part of Jewish weddings.
