About Reform Ketubah Texts

A ketubah text in the United States typically contains two portions: one in English and one in Hebrew or Aramaic. (Aramaic is the ancient language of the Talmud, which uses Hebrew characters but is actually a different language.)

Things to Keep in Mind as You Choose
Your Reform Ketubah Text

At MP Artworks, you have the opportunity to choose:

  • both English and Hebrew or
  • just Hebrew.

Most couples will choose to have both English and Hebrew/Aramaic, but Israeli couples sometimes prefer to have the Hebrew-only text, since that is their native tongue. Some Interfaith couples select only English.

Reform and Reconstructionist officiants often allow couples to select their own text. (Check in with your officiant, and find out his or her policy!) Most couples will choose one of the Reform texts, which reflect an equal partnership and contain the mutual affirmations and commitments of both the bride and the groom -- instead of the Orthodox and Conservative texts that, in the Aramaic, provide only for the groom’s promises to his bride. Unlike more traditional ketubah texts, these egalitarian texts serve more as a statement of vows than as a legal document.

With each of our Reform texts, the Hebrew is a direct translation of the English. Most couples choose to have both English and Hebrew. However, if you prefer, you may choose to have a Hebrew-only text .
