Ketubah - Creation, Print
The six days of Creation and the holy Shabbat are represented in this colorful ketubah, in concentric circular borders, a day in each. Numerous Swarovski crystals adorn the borders, set like jewels.
The first day, in which light was created, is all gold. The second day – the separation of water and heavens; third day – the creation of land and vegetation; sun and moon, day and night, on the fourth day. Small creatures of land, air and water were formed on the fifth day and the birds represent them, while elephants, largest of all mammals, symbolize the Lord's work on the sixth day, crowned with the creation of man and woman. Shabbat, the blessed day of rest, is prized with flowers.
In the four corners are the colors of the four seasons, each crawling into the next as a secondary border, because of the continuity of time. The cycle of the year does not have sharp breaks, it flows...
The two half circles move closer to become one, being at the same time whole circles, like the man and woman uniting to become one family, and still retain their uniqueness, their identity as autonomous people.
The verse quoted at the bottom panel, from Genesis 2:24, says: "Hence a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, so that they become one flesh".
The verse at the top, from Hosea 2:21-22, says: "And I will espouse you forever; I will espouse you with righteousness and justice, and with goodness and mercy, and I will espouse you with faithfulness".
