Do we need an offical thread. Keep all our questions together? Maybe get a list of Rabbis?

Any thoughts?

Here's my Ketubah from Art Ketubah

Jann, did you contact Rabbi Block? FM me for his info if you want it. He is an excellent reformed Rabbi.

Went to Yussels's today and got the glass FH/DH is going to use in the ceromony, we are going to make it into a mezzuzah afterwards. Actually we got a lot done today- now we have to get the kettubah matted for the easel at the reception. Anyone recommend a place to do it???

Re: Jewish Brides

Could you please tell me what you meant by matting the ketubah for the reception, don't mean to sound stupid!!!!!!!!
By the way, what ketubah did you pick!

Re: Jewish Brides

I really want to get the glass that you put into the mezzuzah! Which one did you get? I want the purple one that I saw at Yussels.

Re: Jewish Brides

I've seen the glass/Mezuzah in magazines, but don't know where to buy it. Where is this Yussel's you all talk about? How much do they charge for the Mezuzah?

Re: Jewish Brides

The glass/mezzuzah that I liked was $160 in Yussel's. They had a few styles though. A similar one is $250 in the Source for Everything Jewish catalog. Yussels is on Merrick Ave, in Merrick. I'd give you better directions, but I don't live on LI!

Re: Jewish Brides

We got the glass that DH broke put into a glass cube from Yussels. We did the blue glass and it looks beautiful! It's so cool and I'm so happy to tell people that that's the glass that DH broke! I think Yussels charged about $200 for it - my brothers bought it as a wedding gift for us along with the Ketubbah.

Re: Jewish Brides

A matted kettubah is like a paper frame around it, sort of like a strong cardboard in colors, we got our kettubah at Yussels. It is the one with the birds on it and it talks about winter turning into spring, etc. I do not have a scanner otherwise I would post the pic.

Re: Jewish Brides

Can you mount it yourself with spray adhesive and foamcore??
What does the usual mounting entail?

Re: Jewish Brides

I have no idea but do not want to risk doing anything myself with the kettubah- it is a work of art and an expensive piece of art, so I am going to get it professionally done.

Re: Jewish Brides

Are you matting it for display for the guests to see? If that is the case then I understand.
Also, I figured how to post mine if you'd like me to post yours. Do you know the name of the artist?

princess99 Posted: Jan 20, 2004 06:11 PM

Re: Jewish Brides

Hi Andrea! I will find out who the artist is... thank u!
I was in Colonial yesterday- how are the plans going?
We are up to 60 yes, and 1 no.
Matting it b4 it goes into frame.. we are going to display it at the recpetion we were told not to just put it into a frame.

Re: Jewish Brides

That sounds like it will be beautiful. We will matte it befoire it goes into frame. We just sent out invites today( I am a little behind!). I am so excited to start getting them back. 60 yes' s sounds great to me!
No problem, just get me the artist and the name of the ketubah if you can. I will FM them to you and then I can post it. With your name of course!!!!!!!!!

Re: Jewish Brides

I just started reading 'The Everything Jewish Wedding Book' by Helen Latner. It has a lot of good information...Thought I'd share with you guys.

We ordered it from them online!! It was easier than trying to get out to them.

Re: Jewish Brides

Who mats them? The frame shop or the Judaica shop you get it from -
I saw some online, but didn't get that far yet!!

Re: Jewish Brides

We bought our kettubah into Stu Art in Baldwin. They are so nice there. We picked out the matte for it, and will have it at the end of this week. They also recomened to us to get a clear thing to cover it with so when we display it at the reception no one will get it dirty. We are going to get that there as well. The artist of my kettubah is Mickee, I am going to t ry to do a search online.
