Jewish By Design

Jewish art has adapted throughout thousands of years. It has followed the Jewish people wherever they went. As a culturally rich community, Jews have always combined their cultural achievements with their religious actions.

Over the years, the scope of artists in the Jewish community has always been limited by the social conditions in it. Too many times, Jews were forbidden to indulge in communal arts out in the open. But that never stopped Jewish artists inside the community. Just like the restrictions never stopped celebrations of important holidays and special events like Bar Mitzvahs and weddings.

Many Jewish artists use these religious celebrations as an opportunity to display wonderful Jewish creativity. In weddings, there is the Ketubah, which is the marriage contract presented by the bridegroom to the bride as a legal agreement covering his obligations and responsibilities to her. This legal agreement is the perfect opportunity for creative Jewish artists to showcase their strength. Couples like to have some artistic elements on their Ketubah, making it both a visually attractive legal document, and also a genuine piece of Jewish art for them to keep.
