I have not evaluated or used the following sites/stores, except as indicated below. The list just aims to provide links to a number of places where same-sex ketubot are available. As you look through the sites below, some explicitly have pages for same-sex partners. Others include same-sex partners in the general site, but provide ‘Commitment texts’ or ‘Commitment Ketubah Texts’ that are explicitly same-sex ketubot. Oftentimes, if you prefer the text from one of the other text choices, artists will be willing to change the necessary language. In no particular order… enjoy:
- www.allysonblockjudaica.com – Allyson Block’s work is amazing. Abstract and beautiful.
- www.samesexketubah.com is connected to www.ketubahworks.com a site from designer Melissa Dinwiddie.
- www.modernketubah.com from fine artist Daniel Sroka
- www.theketubah.com
- The home page of Ketubah Studio by MP Artworks or the Commitment Texts page
- The Ketubah Artist page at www.galleryjudaica.com
- www.freshketubahdesign.com
- Etsy – Check Out Etsy.com – There are a number of wonderful artists creating ketubot offered through Etsy. At last check there were 226 different choices for ketubot.
- www.ketubah-arts.com – Ginny Reel has interesting choices, can work with couples on creative translations and more.
- www.urban-collective.com – Beautiful artwork on a beautiful site (They also have chuppahs).
- http://www.karlagudeon.com/ketubot.asp – Original, rich patterned ketubot from Karla Gudeon. 7 different same sex texts available.
I will continue to add to this list.
Do you have sites to recommend? Please, comment below or send me an email.
Does anyone do plain printed same-sex ketubot, similar to the mass printed ketubot you can buy for $5 from websites like the Israel Bookstore?
Thanks for checking. I know that URJ Books and Music provides a Jewish Marriage Certificate that is gender neutral: http://www.urjbooksandmusic.com/product.php?productid=13086&cat=0&page=1. I don’t know of a more detailed ketubah that fits the bill. I will see what I can find and if I find something I will share the information. There is also a DIY ketubah option here: http://www.newketubah.com/pdf/DIYketubah.pdf – the two text options work. All the best, Michael
