Pillars of Home Ketubah, by Naomi Teplow

Size: 18 1/4″ x 23 1/8″
Medium: Giclee

In this Ketubah, there is a suggestion of a home, with the pillars symbolizing stability and strength (“Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars” Proverbs, 9.1), and the roof, made of tiles in a repeating geometrical pattern, symbolizing shelter, security and the beauty of order and continuity. This home, like the chuppah in the wedding ceremony, is open to the world and the community. On the left side there is a landscape common in Israel, with a wheat field ready for harvest, and fruit trees, symbolizing richness, abundance, and peace. In the distance, Jerusalem can be seen. The grapevine and the olive trees call to mind Psalm 128 (which is written in its entirety above the picture), where it is written, “thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house, thy children like olive saplings round about thy table.”
