JEWISH girls help me!!

I did not realize how expensive yamulkes and ketubahs were. I didn't budget any money for it... and I'm on the tightest budget.

my rabbi recommended this store in the city and claimed I could find yamulkes for .50 cents a piece and ketubahs for cheap. WELL, I called the place and beyond having a horrible attitude they said the cheapest yamulkes are about 2 dollars a piece and the cheapest ketubah they have is 130 dollars. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me out?

cheapest yarmulke's i found were at SkullCap.com and were $1.85 each (plus about $10 or $15 for shipping) - that price is for suede ones and includes free personalization. You might be able to find cheaper ones that are not personalized

as for ketubah, you can probably find a very cheap one for under $50 if you get a very simple one. I've heard of people getting these through their Rabbi's so i have no idea where else to buy them.

HTH

I havent even started looking for yamukahs since i might not be using that many of them (interfaith marriage and FH isnt thrilled abt having to wear one... but i might just make him)

As for the Ketubah you can try Ketubah.com. I know they do have some affordable ones and hopefully you will be able to find one you love with in the budget your looking...HTH

I am having an interfaith ceremony and found some reasonable prices on MPartworks.com for the Ketubah. I believe you can also try going to Yussels in Merrick but I am not sure of their prices.

Ketubahs can be cheap. We saw some for $40 (plus personalization if you want it, most recommend but not a necessity) at Levine Judaica on West 30th. They also have a website (we ended up going with Ketubah Ketubah but just b/c I wanted a certain style).

As for kipahs, these can be pricey. My cousin used the ones from her temple--they were very flimsy white one but served a purpose. Most temples have that kind--can you ask your rabbi (if he belongs to a congregation) where to purchase those? I'd also ask a judaica store where you can order the cheap ones.

I recommend calling Levine Judaica for both items--I called them when I was looking for both items and they were very friendly and helpful.

i think if you google you will find cheaper kippot. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=cheap+bulk+kippot&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=467c3568f2eec009

i found this site http://www.yarmulkes.com/index.htm seems cheap (72.50 for 5 dozens- w/o shipping). 13.95 per dozen i think they ship from NY and shipping is between 10-15.

also found http://www.koolkipah.com/bulk/index.htm which is 12.95 per dozen -both places are for regular plain satin ones.

Ketubah:

www.mpartworks.com

They are great and FAST and they have budget ketubahs in smaller versions for $99. Google the site and you should be able to find a 10% off code online.

I went to Levine Judaica too. They have everything in stock pretty much and you can find them online for cheaper. MP Artworks has a ton of artists that you should be able to see at Levine (Micah Parker is a big one). They let you go in and look without bothering you, so I would do that and then try to find it online for less.
