This clause, which the Jewish Theological Seminary and the Rabbinical Assembly accepted in 1953, is added in as a paragraph at the end of the ketubah text. The purpose of this clause is to solve the challenge of the “agunah”. An agunah is a Jewish woman whose husband refuses to grand her a religious divorce and she is therefore prohibited from re-marrying under Jewish law. The literal meaning of agunah is “chained woman”. By signing the Lieberman Clause, the bride and groom agree to recognize the authority of the court of the more modern court of the Conservative Rabbinical Assembly and the Jewish Theological Seminary to allow a divorce at the request of either the husband or the wife. Thereby, the addition of this clause makes for a more egalitarian version of the ancient Orthodox ketubah text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does the Lieberman Clause actually say?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a translation of the Lieberman Clause of the Ketubah.

This text, which has been used in Judaism for thousands of years (earliest versions of documents with this text are from about 440 BCE), outlines the groom’s responsibilities towards the bride. It is a legal, binding contract according to Jewish law. While the Orthodox text is only signed by two male witnesses, most Conservative rabbis allow for signature lines for the bride and groom as well. Many officiating Conservative rabbis also like to sign the ketubah themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother difference between the Orthodox and Conservative ketubah is how it is filled in. Traditionally Hebrew names are written in the ben\/bat form. This means that the Hebrew name of the bride and groom are listed along with their parents’ Hebrew names, as in “Rachel daughter of….”. On Orthodox ketubahs only the father’s parentage is listed, but on Conservative ketubahs the mother’s name is usually also added in, once again making this document a more egalitarian version of the traditional Orthodox text. This does vary rabbi to rabbi, which is why we always make a digital proof for your rabbi to check and approve before finalizing your ketubah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairing the Conservative Text with English\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0109\/9517\/1424\/files\/6-image.jpg?v=1673958984\" alt=\"Conservative Ketubah Art\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/ketubahs\/products\/jerusalem-love-tree-ketubah\"\u003eJerusalem Love Tree Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Conservative Ketubah Text is a pretty dry legal document, most people choose not to have a literal translation of it on their beautiful art ketubah.

Because of this, I recommend considering the text area of the ketubah art you select. If you order the Conservative ketubah in a budget size, the text will need to be on the smaller side to fit, so filling in the blanks by hand may be tricky. This is why if you are ordering your ketubah with the Conservative ketubah text, I recommend either ordering original size and up, or having us fill the ketubah text in for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso see these related pages:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/watercolor-ketubah\"\u003eWatercolor Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/kosher-aramaic-ketubah\"\u003eKosher Aramaic Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/orthodox-ketubah\"\u003eOrthodox Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/conservative-ketubah-text\"\u003eConservative Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/reform-ketubah\"\u003eReform Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-17T05:17:21-08:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"contains","condition":"Ketubah"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":98532884576,"handle":"ketubahs","title":"KETUBAH ART BY ANNA ABRAMZON","updated_at":"2024-11-25T05:00:03-08:00","body_html":"\u003cp\u003e##split##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWelcome to Anna Abramzon Studio, Your Online Ketubah Art Boutique!\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHi I’m Anna!

The document outlines the groom’s responsibilities towards the bride, including a financial commitment (although this is in Zuzim, so by today’s standards it is only symbolic). In order to dissolve the ketubah, the couple would need to go before a rabbinical court and the husband would need to provide the wife with a “gett”. Here is a translation of what the Orthodox ketubah text says in English, but please note that because this is a translation of an ancient language, translations of the Orthodox ketubah text can vary slightly:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn the ______day of the week, the _________day of the month ______ in the year five thousand seven hundred and ______ since the creation of the world, the era according to which we reckon here in the city of _________________ that ________ son of _________ said to this (virgin) _________daughter of _____. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u2028\"Be my wife according to the practice of Moses and Israel, and I will cherish, honor, support and maintain you in accordance with the custom of Jewish husbands who cherish, honor, support and maintain their wives faithfully.

The trousseau that she brought to him from her (father's) house in silver, gold, valuables, clothing, furniture and bedclothes, all this ________, the said bridegroom accepted in the sum of (one hundred ) silver pieces, and ______ the bridegroom, consented to increase this amount from his own property with the sum of (one hundred) silver pieces, making in all (two hundred) silver pieces. And thus said __________, the bridegroom: \"The responsibility of this marriage contract, of this trousseau, and of this additional sum, I take upon myself and my heirs after me, so that they shall be paid from the best part of my property and possession that I have beneath the whole heaven, that which I now possess or may hereafter acquire.

It is not to be regarded as a mere forfeiture without consideration or as a mere formula of a document.

Instead, we like to pair it with a more romantic interpretive text. So me rabbis do not allow an English text on the Orthodox ketubah at all, but in my experience most do. As long as the Orthodox Aramaic text is on the ketubah and unaltered, they allow an English text to be added and still consider the ketubah kosher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the text I usually pair the Orthodox ketubah text with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Orthodox Ketubah Text in Aramaic and English\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0109\/9517\/1424\/files\/12.jpg?v=1673960607\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also pair the Orthodox ketubah text with any English ketubah text that I offer standard at no additional cost.

Unlike the Orthodox and Conservative ketubah texts, the Reform movement does not have one strict ketubah text that the movement requires. Instead, the Reform movement’s requirements may vary from rabbi to rabbi. Most Reform rabbis are open to including values which are most important to each individual bride and groom as part of their ketubah contract. Many Reform rabbis also require that the ketubah mention the couple’s plans to build a Jewish home, be a part of the Jewish community, and\/or their commitment to Tikkun Olam (the Jewish value of repairing the world, which is often interpreted in modern times as a commitment to social justice).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reform ketubah is an egalitarian contract. Unlike the Orthodox and Conservative ketubahs which outline the groom’s responsivities towards the bride, the Reform ketubah focuses instead on the values and commitments that the couple plans to adhere to. This can include things like respect, compromise, and listening to one another, or even more practical items such as traveling regularly, raising children, or whose job it will be to load the dishwasher (just kidding, that one might be a little too real).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some fun ideas to include in your Reform ketubah text:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"3 Items to Include in Your Ketubah Text\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xlejE-K6lro\" height=\"626\" width=\"352\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Little Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Reform Ketubah Art\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0109\/9517\/1424\/files\/2image.png?v=1673958339\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/ketubahs\/products\/hamsa-love-tree-ketubah\"\u003eHamsa Love Tree Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jewish Reform movement (not Reformed, that’s a common misnomer), started in Germany in the late 1700 \/ early 1800s. At that time, a process began to lift legal restrictions on European Jews and give them something closer to equal rights with other Europeans. This meant Jews could live outside of small secluded Jewish communities (the Jewish ghetto) and integrate more into the culture. This had an impact on the practice of Judaism, and some Jews began to loosen observance, including dietary restrictions (keeping kosher) to try to assimilate into society. The early leaders of the Reform movement aimed to structure a Jewish practice that was more in line with European life. The first Reform synagogue was founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 1818.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the Reform movement is the largest denomination of Judaism in the United States. It has consistently been a leader in bringing progressive values to the larger Jewish community. The Reform movement was the first movement to ordain a female rabbi. The Reform movement began admitting openly gay and lesbian rabbinical students in the 1980s and admitted its first transgender student in 2003. The movement also began accepting patrilinear descent (meaning considering a child Jewish even if the father is Jewish but the mother is not) in the early 80s, provided that the child was raised Jewish. This is contrary to traditional Jewish law which recognizes Jewish lineage through the mother’s side only. The movement also welcomes interfaith couples. Most Reform rabbis officiate at interfaith weddings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you choose a Reform ketubah text for your wedding contract, you are linking your special day to this rich history of progressivism, evolution, and social action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Focus On Social Justice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Reform Ketubah Text and Art\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0109\/9517\/1424\/files\/3image.png?v=1673958380\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reform movement has always accepted modernity and incorporates innovation into all aspects of Jewish tradition. A major tenant of the Reform movement is its commitment to \u003cem\u003etikkun olam\u003c\/em\u003e (healing the world), and social justice for all – women, people of Color, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, people with disabilities, and peoples of all faiths. With this in mind, many Reform ketubah texts like to incorporate a clause about a future commitment to healing the world. Any social action values that are important to the bride and groom can be included in the Reform ketubah text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReform Ketubah Text Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI offer two specifically Reform ketubah text options that are available for any ketubah in my collection. That said, because the Reform movement is so open in regards to what is acceptable on a ketubah, many couples seeking a Reform ketubah text also like to use the Egalitarian, Secular and Interfaith texts. You can browse all the available ketubah texts \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/pages\/text\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e, and you can also always \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/blogs\/anna-abramzon-studio\/how-to-write-your-own-ketubah-text\"\u003ewrite your own ketubah text\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all ketubah texts, you can choose to order your Reform text either blank or filled in. You can learn the difference between the two options and see some samples \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/blogs\/anna-abramzon-studio\/what-is-a-ketubah-text-fill-in\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e. If you are ordering your ketubah without a text fill-in, make sure to check with your rabbi to be sure he or she are comfortable filling it in by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso see these related pages:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/watercolor-ketubah\"\u003eWatercolor Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/kosher-aramaic-ketubah\"\u003eKosher Aramaic Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/orthodox-ketubah\"\u003eOrthodox Ketuba\u003c\/a\u003eh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/conservative-ketubah-text\"\u003eConservative Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/annaabramzon.com\/collections\/reform-ketubah\"\u003eReform Ketubah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-17T05:18:58-08:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"contains","condition":"ketubah"}],"published_scope":"global"}]
