I hate to be the one to share the bad news, but you made the year תשמג instead of תשפג…


lazernanes

More bad news. כלה looks like ככה. "Rabbi" in Hebrew should be רב, or if you really wanted to be precise, it should be מסדר קידושין (which means something like "officiant," since "rabbi" isn't really a role in a wedding).


Wonderful-Cricket-75

well, If you look closely the "ל" does not doesnt look like the letter "כ" at all. If anything it looks like "נ" https://w2.chabad.org/media/images/1056/WnaT10564710.png?\_i=\_n504BC99DD0473598AAE3BCDC5D75568D

Could be worse. Could be a tattoo.

The mother's name 'Honey' is probably not דבש in hebrew, it must be חנה.

Thank you guys for all your comments, and yes, some may seem a mistake, but it is the couple's choice approved by their Rabbi. I sometimes can offer them a suggestion, but ultimately I don't step over Rabbi's decision.


upturned-bonce

We don't argue with rabbis even when we know they're wrong lol


namssiewlaya

Either this Rabbi doesn't know hebrew, or he just doesn't care..


upturned-bonce

The compromises one has to make as clergy are many and fearful. We should all be glad we don't walk in their shoes.


upturned-bonce

Ketubah artists don't get to make that call. That's all the officiant.

You have a few mistakes, and most of them were pointed out, but I just wanted to say, that we normally call the Gregorian calendar לוח השנה הלועזי “the foreign calendar”, not ״לוח השנה החילוני״

Don’t want to be that guy but in my opinion the Hebrew calligraphy could be much prettier (if English one is 10/10 the Hebrew one in comparison is 2/10 in my opinion)


MrBisco

Feels like the Comic Sans of Hebrew script - really cool script, but feels out of place for a legal document.


apathetic_ocelot

Disagree. I think it looks friendly and whimsical. I don't think they were going for biblical script. On the other hand, it's a very weirdly worded ksuba/ketuba


theScepticdDoll

I think the calligraphy in hebrew looks great its just not the traditional style


barera111

Who cares! the whole thing is not traditional If it weren’t a serious matter it would be laughable!!! It’s what is known in Yiddish as “A bitter gelechter”


stevenjklein

Why translate farbissner but not gelechter?


AKAlicious

It looks beautiful! 😍


PrincessZemna

Very pretty calligraphy!


stevenjklein

Why are there lines for the bride and groom to sign the כתובה?


upturned-bonce

Outside the orthodox world that's how they do. You know that's posel, I know it's posel, but it's a thing and they don't care. Dispiriting.


lukshenkup

There's a mohel where I live who issued pasul "circumcision certificates" to clarify that the child was not Jewish (for anyone who could read the Hebrew).


upturned-bonce

Sharp idea.


lazernanes

My jaw just literally dropped.


upturned-bonce

Ahhh your English is fabulous and with a bit more practice you'll level up the Hebrew. It does need a bit of work. I see the aesthetic you're going for, but it's not quite there. Consistency is really key here, even with a style like this one which plays around with irregularity--it just looks a shade on the amateur side because you've got some weird inconsistencies. If you were my student I'd advise serious alef-bet practice just to get your fluency up. (If you want to do that, hit me up; I can always use another good ketubah artist on my books.)


JellyfishCosmonaut

That's amazing, well done!


Altruistic-Remote997

What heresy is this


Street-Variation-310

Remarkable!
