About Anniversary Ketubot

Significant anniversaries, renewal of vows, or just a desire to say I love you in a special way.

In these 3 sample versions, the couple renews their commitment to each other while affirming their history together. The text states how many years the couple has been together, renews old promises and adds new commitments for an improved future.

Any aspect of these texts may be changed to suit the couple's preferences. Available in both Hebrew and English; additions can be translated to Hebrew as needed. Poetry, song verses, or any other item of significance to the couple may be included as well.

If you are planning a surprise gift for your spouse, I am happy to make special arrangements such as  completing the art for the anniversary and add the text you choose together after the anniversary or making a gift certificate for the whole process.
