#jewish wedding contract

[koenji]

Ketubah (marriage contract), Jerusalem, Israel, 2002. on paper.

This ketubah was created by American born Israeli artist and calligrapher David Moss for the marriage of his son Yonatan. Moss was among the first artists to renew the tradition of hand-written and decorated ketubot. He has served as an inspiration and mentor to many artists who have continued the work that he began and still continues to do.

In contrast to those of the past, modern ketubot are quite personal and designed specifically for a particular bridal couple. This ketubah is no different. Its theme is Creation. It evokes the relationship of God to his creation and the relationship of all beings to their Creator. With this theme the artist has merged the Talmudic background of the groom with the interest of the bride in Jewish ecology. The leaves and flowers that surround the text suggest the Garden of Eden and the bottom blue cartouche contains a quote from one of the 7 blessings recited at a Jewish wedding ceremony that connects the couple to Eden. Framing the entire document is an ancient midrashic text called Perek Shirah. In it all elements of creation from the sun and the moon to all the animals praise God, each in its own words. Written in micrography, Moss also painted a tiny image of each creature placed next to the passage in which it is mentioned. x

Valyrian Wedding Rituals & Its Parallels

“Among the people who came to inhabit Northumbria and the Lothians, as well as among other Germanic peoples, the nuptials were completed in two distinct phases. (…) The parties plighted their troth and the contract was sealed, like any other contract, by a hand-shake. This joining of hands was called handfæstung in Anglo-Saxon, and the same word is found in different forms in the German, Swedish and Danish languages. In each it means a pledge by the giving of the hand.” Handfasting' in Scotland - The Scottish Historical Review; Anton, A. E. (1958)

“In ancient Rome, a wedding was a sacred ritual involving many religious practices. (…) In a Roman wedding both sexes had to wear specific clothing. Men had to wear the toga virilis while the bride to wear a wreath, a veil, and a yellow hairnet.” Women's Costume and Feminine Civic Morality in Augustan Rome; Sebesta, Judith Lynn (1997)

“ When the terms of the ketubah were accepted a cup of wine was shared to seal the marriage covenant. (…) The bride and groom shared the same cup, symbolizing the shared life that would be theirs. (…) Wine in Judaism has always symbolized joy. (…) Wine also symbolized blood. The marriage covenant is a blood covenant in the eyes of God. Two lives become one in a lifelong commitment.” The Ancient Jewish Wedding; Lash, Jamie (2012)

Things we learned about the character Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Spoilers below: 1. He's actually Italian. 2. His cause of death was poisoning. 3. He told the truth about having lived through the black death. 4. He's six-hundred-years dead. Age at the time of death unknown. 5. He married a soul-sucking succubus cult leader and somehow thought it would be fine. 6. He was a grave robber (and apparently didn't wear shoes). 7. His plan for a "Green card wedding" has now grown into an unhealthy infatuation / obsession with Lydia. 8. He's multi-lingual. 9. He's familiar with Russian literature. 10. He knows how to open a portal to Hell or Hell-like dimension. 11. He now has minion who are apparently all victims of the witch doctor we saw in the waiting room at the end of the first movie. 12. Beetlejuice now canonically loves a good song and dance number in every incarnation of the character from the movies, to the animated series, to the Broadway musical, to his appearance on Teen Titans Go. 13. He is well-versed in the many corridors of The Afterlife Social services office. (Is the Netherworld all one building in the movies? It was an entire dimension in the animated series where it was called Neither World). 14. He's actually really good at dividing his attention. (See the Wedding scene). 15. Beetlejuice has a weirdly romantic side and really wanted MacArthur Park to play at his wedding. 16. Beetlejuice is familiar with the German legend of Faust. (Note the contract signed in blood. (Who would have guessed he actually has some sense of culture???) 17. There's a very high chance Beetlejuice was born Jewish. He says L'chaim at one point in the Beetlejuice Broadway musical and Mazel tov in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

18. Beetlejuice's mortal marriage was definitely not Christian or Hebrew. The ceremony had him and his bride drink each other's blood, bite the heads off chickens, and sacrifice a goat. 20. Beetlejuice has a sense of justice, as twisted as it may be, going out of his way to show Lydia Rory's true nature, and sending the ghost to Hell (or a Hell-like dimension) that tricked Astrid. I'm starting to feel like the version of Beetlejuice from the animated series is the most "accurate" depiction of the character, as weird as that sounds. Since the movie version has shifted to be more like him and the Broadway musical version feels like a prequel to the cartoon.

Torah ark curtain by Simhah, wife of Menahem Levi Meshullami.

From Venice, 1680/81. Embroidered with silk and metallic thread; metallic fringe. 216.1 × 140.1 cm.

This is an extraordinary Torah curtain because of its impressive size, beautiful workmanship, and unusual iconography. The dedication at the bottom reaffirms the significant role played by Italian Jewish women in the creation of synagogue textiles, even among very wealthy and prominent families such as the Meshullami, one of the first Jewish families to settle in Venice.

What is unusual is the detailed representation of Jerusalem, unique in Torah curtain iconography, but common on another type of seventeenth-century Italian Judaica, decorated ketubbot. Since the Italian Jewish marriage ceremony includes the recitation of Psalm 128, which mentions Jerusalem, and remembrances of the city's destruction conclude every Jewish wedding, depictions of the city were appropriate to the decoration of the contracts displayed at the ceremony, creating an iconographic link between two forms of Judaica prominent in the lives of women.

Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract), Isfahan Province, Iran, 1859

This is a finely painted example of Persian Ketubot with peacocks flanking a central tree and the flowers and birds rendered in careful detail. The wedding took place on October 25, 1859 between Moses, son of Abraham and Rachel, daughter of Jacob.

You know Stede is going to be sooo picky while he and Ed shop around for their ketubah (very pretty Jewish marriage contract that you sign at your wedding, modern ketubot especially are not just compliant with Jewish law but also an awesome way to keep and display some of your wedding vows). Ed's going to be pretty easy to please, there's no shortage of amazing designs out there, and Stede's been so amazing about him wanting to incorporate a lot of Jewish wedding traditions into their wedding that his only firm line is he's going to want one with both Hebrew and English script so Stede can read it, too.

But Stede is going to take this sooo seriously. It's going to be the first thing they hang up in their home after they get married! It's a big deal, EDWARD! His shortlist is twenty-five design options, and that's even before they look into customizing the text on their design, especially now that so many websites offer ketubot written for queer couples in addition to the traditional text. He's always loved Ed's Jewishness but now he's so anxious about getting the Hebrew dates right and everything. And Ed knows this is just a manifestation of Stede's nerves about the wedding in general so his strategy is to just let him work himself out, but eventually Stede starts getting super nitpicky about the Hebrew font choice too

So Ed has to sit him down and be like. "Stede. Babe. Love and light of my life. You cannot read that no matter what font it's in and I promise it looks fine"

Sorry if this is an inappropriate or rude question, you don’t have to answer.

I’ve been dealing with internalised negative feelings about religion, due to being raised by very Christian family, when I’ve never believed what they said. It made me think that religion is an awful thing, a cult by sorts.

A few years back, I made a friend who is Jewish and he’s really cool and I respect him a lot. I also am trying my hardest to respect that he is religious but I can’t help that voice in my head, saying he’s corrupted. I don’t think I believe it anymore but I kind of want to ask, a reassurance I guess, what your views are in religion as a whole? Why do you believe it’s good?

First of all, it is not marginalized people's jobs to prove to why they deserve humanity. If you had asked any other Jew this question, they would have every right to ignore this quesiton and/or call you out on it.

However, I do put myself out there and try to educate people, so I'll answer your question.

Religion is part of human culture and history. For as long as humans have been humans, we've always had symbolic representation, taboos, and imagination. Paleolithic humans burying their dead with body paint and bead ornamentation- that's an example of spiritual belief. To be human is to be illogical, superstitious, and imaginative. Even other animals can sometimes act according to superstition or seemingly illogical motives. Humans are incredibley intelligent, and with our intelligence comes questions we cannot answer and fears we cannot explain. Where are we from? What is death? Where are we going? What is our purpose? These are all answers we seek, and having a religious belief set can help answer these questions. Religion is just a world view in the same way Western science is a world view, and they're not incompatible with each other. Many scientists are religious, I myself am a student of science and am religious.

Religion has brought people together for all of human history- it allows the sharing of ideas and resources. Harvest festivals, weddings, coming-of-age ceremonies, funerals, all these religious events serve to reinforce the bonds in a community. A relationship must be maintained and reinforced, or it becomes stagnant. Having a shared spiritual belief system and coming together for ceremonies reignites communal bonds. Religion also allows for a community to have a shared moral system. While religion isn't necessary for morality, it definately helps define the values and morals of a person and community. If a community can come together and agree on a system of values, then there's less potential for violence due to incompatible values. Religion is a social contract. Religion is also a comfort, and can help with the immense wait of loneliness we face. If the trees and water have spirits, then you are not alone. If your loved one goes to an afterlife after death, then they are not alone.

Religion has as much potential for harm as any world view. Just as there have been countless atrocities committed in the name of religion, so too have there been countless atrocities committted in the name of science. Does that mean we should just toss out all of science? No. In the same way we shouldn't get rid of religion.

Additionally, "Religion" isn't a monolith. It's not one world view, but a category of world views. There are many forms of religion and each religion is different. Monotheism, polytheism, animism, ancestor veneration, etc- these are all different kinds of religion that can overlap with eachother too. A bad experience with one religion doesn't define all religions. With all due respect, your experience is anecdotal, and you can't apply your singular lived experience to every since religion in the world.

And for Jews, our religious identity is deeply important to us. We've been persecuted for thousands of years for our identities, and we've miraculously not disappeared from the face of the earth. You don't have to understand why your friend is religious, but you need to unpack why you think he's corrupted and why you think you have the right to apply your experience with religion to every religious person. The fact that you were raised Christian might be another contributing factor to your bias towards your friend- antisemitism is often deeply ingrained in aspects of Christianity.

I don’t know if anyone has requested it yet, but could you please write a chapter about Freddie’s and Rosie’s second wedding? Can it please be a Jewish wedding?

Wish you all the best sweetheart 😊

by popular demand, here is an excerpt from freddie and rosie's second wedding. it's only really a glimpse (sorry!!) but it felt right to me to keep it short and sweet. hope you don't mind!!

below the cut <3<3<3

Freddie was nervous. More nervous than she’d been for her first wedding. Alma had been right back then to advise her to enjoy the first one because the second would come with its fair share of stress; with a crowd gathered of Rosie’s extended family, all of his friends, their friends from the war, and Freddie’s parents, there had been a fair share of stress just organising the event, let alone preparing to walk down the aisle in front of everyone.

Freddie knew that sometime soon Rosie would be overseeing the signing of the ketubah, the ancient, traditional Jewish marriage contract. As far as Freddie could understand it, the ketubah laid out the groom’s commitments to the bride and was signed by two appointed Jewish witnesses who were not blood relations of either bride or groom - Rosie’s rabbi from when he’d been growing up and one of his childhood friends were signing theirs.

After that Freddie would see Rosie for the first time in a whole week - his mother had been insistent that they follow tradition as much as possible, since they weren’t able to have an official Jewish wedding by virtue of the fact that Freddie wasn’t Jewish - for the badeken ritual, where Rosie would cover her face with her veil.

She was itching to see him, but overcome with nerves for all of the ceremonies which would happen after.

“Fred,” Millie said from the other side of the room, exhaustion in her voice, “please stop pacing.”

“I want to see Rosie.”

“You’ll see him soon enough.”

“‘Soon enough’ isn’t soon enough,” Freddie retorted. Though she was immediately aware of how stupid that sounded, she powered on, “I haven’t seen him in a week.”

“John and I were apart for more than a year during the war,” Millie reminded her calmly.

Freddie floundered for something to say to that.

“Can I just talk to him?” Freddie asked at last. “We don’t have to look at each other or anything, I just want to hear his voice. Please?”

Millie considered Freddie for a moment before rolling her eyes affectionately. “Ask your mum when she gets back with the dogs. I don’t want to be held responsible for ruining wedding traditions.”

Freddie breathed a laugh. “Maybe you could take a note to him for me asking whether it’s okay? If he doesn’t want to risk breaking tradition that’s okay, I just -” Freddie sighed and resisted the urge to fiddle with her hair - her mother had gone to such an effort to make it look perfect for her. “I just know I’d feel a lot more at ease if I could speak to him.”

Millie laughed and pushed herself to her feet. She crossed the room to Freddie, then took her time adjusting the veil pinned to her hair, making sure it was sitting straight. “Ask Alma,” she whispered with a grin.

Alma returned a short while later with Earnie and Bruno on their leads - they were both set to be bridesmaids of sorts while Meatball was one of Rosie’s groomsmen - and she took one look at Freddie before shaking her head, knowing what she was about to ask.

“I just want to talk to him!” Freddie hurried to reassure her. “We don’t need to look at each other! It can be through a door, even. I just want to hear his voice.”

Alma sighed, easing the door to the bride’s waiting room shut behind her and letting the dogs back off their leads. “Get Millie to ask first,” was all Alma mustered in reply. Truthfully, she’d had to endure Freddie’s complaining about not being able to see Rosie for the last seven days and she had no energy left to argue with her anymore. “If Rosie says it’s okay then it’s okay.”

Millie hurried away to the groom’s waiting room, exchanging a grin with Freddie over her shoulder.

Freddie bent to the floor to fuss over Earnie and Bruno.

“Watch your dress!” Alma warned.

Freddie laughed to herself and gave the skirt of her dress an affectionate pat where it rested over her thighs. She had finally gotten a wedding dress of her own and she was nothing short of obsessed with it - ruched fabric over the bodice, tulle capped sleeves, and a long flowing skirt with intricate detailing around the hem. She couldn’t wait for Rosie to see it. Better yet, she couldn’t wait for Rosie to take it off of her.

Dutifully, Freddie rose back to her full height to avoid getting any imaginary dirt from the hardwood on her dress, then fiddled with her hands as she waited for Millie to return. The day outside was warm and bright, the sunshine spilling generously through the room’s solitary window. A perfect day for a wedding, only just about six months after their first. 

Millie was out of breath when she returned. “He’s going to come here,” she informed them. “And you’ll be pleased to know that the rabbi is allowing it. He just said you two can’t look at each other, so Rosie’ll be staying behind the door.”

“Do not open it,” Alma warned Freddie with a hard look in her eyes. She knew how much it meant to Rosie’s mum that they follow tradition in spite of Freddie’s not being Jewish.

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” Freddie assured her.

Millie picked up Earnie and Alma rehooked Bruno’s lead, then the four of them promptly fled the scene to grant Freddie and Rosie their privacy.

Freddie dragged a chair to the door to sit on while she waited.

She was only twiddling her thumbs and fiddling with the ends of her hair for a couple of minutes before a knock sounded on the wood beside her. “Fred?”

“Rosie!” Freddie exclaimed. All of a sudden she felt she could breathe again.

Rosie’s smile was audible in his voice when he next spoke. “Hi, baby. How’re you doing?”

Freddie smiled and shut her eyes, leaning her temple against the door to feel closer to Rosie. “Nervous,” she confessed.

Rosie’s quiet chuckle was muffled but it made Freddie smile all the same. “Me too.”

“I’m really excited to get to marry you again,” she said, and now she was fiddling again. “It’s just all the attention, I think. It was so private last time, and this time there’s going to be so many people listening to us and watching us. And I’m worried I’m going to do something wrong and upset one of the traditions. I want to get it all right.”

“I’ll be right there with you the whole time,” Rosie reminded her softly. She heard a quiet thump as he rested his head against the door, too. “And it doesn’t have to be perfect. I wouldn’t want it to be perfect. It’s supposed to be fun.”

Freddie sighed, swallowing hard around the sudden lump in her throat. “I really wish I could hug you right now.”

Rosie sighed quietly. He wished the same. “Fred…” he said.

“No, I know,” Freddie rushed to reassure him. “I’m being silly and I know I am. I just miss you a lot.” Seven whole days since she’d last seen him, hugged him, kissed him. It was way too long.

“You’re not being silly,” Rosie disagreed. “Do you wanna push the ceremony back a while? We can sit and talk ‘til you feel better.”

“No, it’s okay.” Freddie smiled to herself. She’d never once doubted her choice in husband but he proved that he’d been the right one about a thousand times a day. “Thank you, though. I love you so bad.”

“I love you too,” Rosie told her. “And I miss you so bad.”

Freddie laughed quietly to herself. “Maybe we should be pushing this whole thing forward instead of back. I don’t think I can wait any longer before I get to hug you again.”

Rosie laughed along with her but he was prevented from replying, interrupted by hurried footsteps and then the voice of his mother. “There you are!” she exclaimed upon finding her son sitting on a folding chair in a hallway, his head resting against the wooden door beside him. “What are you doing?”

“Talking to Fred,” Rosie told her. “We haven’t looked at each other, don’t worry. The door’s been shut the whole time.”

Freddie couldn’t see it but Rosie’s mother was smiling. “Hi, Freddie,” she called through the door.

Freddie’s smile was audible as she called back, “Hello!”

“Doing alright?”

“Better now!”

Rosie and his mother exchanged smiles.

“Is it alright if I take Robbie off your hands now?” Rosie’s mother ventured carefully. “The rabbi wants to start the signing of the ketubah but we can postpone for a while if it’d make you feel better.”

Freddie would have banged down the door and jumped into both her husband and her mother-in-law’s arms if she didn’t care so much about honouring the Jewish traditions. Instead, she smiled and laid one of her palms on the door. “It’s okay,” she replied at length, “I’m feeling better now. We can start.”

“I’ll go find your mother and maid of honour, Freddie, while you two say your goodbyes,” Rosie’s mother answered her.

Rosie was grinning as he watched her retreat.

“I love you,” Freddie said when she could no longer hear footsteps outside the door.

“I love you too, honey,” Rosie assured her. “So, so bad. I can’t wait to see you.”

“I’m so excited to get to walk down the aisle towards you again,” Freddie confessed.

Rosie was grinning. “I’m so excited to watch you walk down the aisle toward me again.”

“In my own dress this time,” Freddie added.

“I can’t wait to see your dress, either.”

“I can’t wait for you to take it off me later.”

Rosie laughed. “If our second wedding night is anything like our first I think that’s the part I’m looking forward to the most.”

Giggling, Freddie smoothed her hands down the skirt of her dress and sat up straight. “I can’t wait to marry you again,” she said quietly.

“Then I guess we’d better get this wedding started, huh?” Rosie replied gently. “I love you, Fred. I can’t wait to make you my wife again. Being your husband is the greatest joy of my life.”

“Stop that right now and save it for the altar,” Freddie chastised insincerely, “or I’ll cry and Millie will be furious, because she did my makeup so nicely.”

“Alright,” Rosie conceded. He laughed. “Speak of the devil.”

“Is she ready now?” Millie asked as she led Freddie’s mother and two childhood dogs down the hallway. “Your mum said the first tradition is about to start.”

“She’s ready,” Rosie assured Millie with a grin. “Make sure you take good care of my wife until you get her back to me, alright?”

Millie scoffed while Alma laughed.

“I’ll see you soon, Fred,” Rosie called as he rose from his chair and dragged it away so Millie and Alma would be able to get through the door. “I love you!”

“I love you too!” Freddie called back. She stood and moved her own chair away from the door and waited patiently for Rosie to leave and her wedding entourage to enter.

Millie took one look at her and grinned. “You look much better now.”

Freddie smiled, accepting Earnie from her so she could cuddle him. “I’m much readier now,” she replied. “It’s my wedding day!”

“Again,” Millie said with a laugh. “Most of us only get one so don’t forget to enjoy it.”

“I won’t,” Freddie vowed. “I’m going to enjoy it so much. Nothing to worry about, really. Rosie’s going to be right there the whole time.”

Would Eddie and Gregory's wedding ceremony have any sort of mini-coronation for Eddie to officially make him King Consort, or would that just be a thing that happens automatically or a document for Gregory to sign, with no ceremony at all? I assume since he's not the king he wouldn't get his own ceremony, but I wonder if he might get a moment for Gregory to give him some sort of crown-like headpiece at their wedding. (I'm anon, so obviously —and in the spirit of this whole book series— this is a free idea if you don't have it in there currently but like it.)

Oh yeah, there is A Plan!

So, Eddie and Gregory have three weddings -- first the hippie non-legal California wedding for Eddie's family, then the small, private ceremony where they sign the ketubah (the Jewish marriage contract) for Gregory's family, then the big public "parade wedding" to satisfy the Shivadh love of pageantry and allow Gregory to leverage a public event for some political ends. The Parade Wedding is much later than the other two and the only one I haven't written yet (it's in October and I'm stuck back in August right now), but the idea is that after the vows there's a small coronation ceremony where Eddie receives his crown as King Theophile.

I'm still working out details, such as who's going to crown him, but it's definitely in my notes when I get that far along in the book. Right now I'm favoring either Gregory (poetic, romantic, but difficult as he's a groom) or their newly adopted daughter Joan (making her feel like a part of things as the very new child in the situation, but also she's a child and Gregory's trying to limit her exposure until she's a little older). I can't deny Jerry would be the funniest option, and as vizier it technically could be his actual facts job. If Jerry does it he's definitely breaking out his fake Evil Goatee from the Eurovision national final again.

I am working on the book, albeit slowly. It's just...big and complicated, and life since late April has also been big and complicated. But the parade wedding is the next big emotional beat, so I'll get there sooner or later!

What mercs think about getting married

This varies heavily

Mercs getting married

Scout

Scout wants to get married at some point but right now he's too busy living his 'prime'

He also doesn't even know who'd he really want to marry.

He knocked Pauling off his options due to her being a lesbian(also before anyone gets mad at me that's genuinely canon about her)

So yes I think he would wanna get married but I don't think he sees it anywhere in the next few years.

Pyro

You like fire?

You like dresses?

Cool take the ring pop and get on the alter that's definitely not on fire and covered in balloonicorns NOW

Soldier

Considering this man is already engaged in canon I think he definitely likes the idea of himself getting married and just never thought about it before.

Demoman

He doesn't think anyone is too interested in getting married with him.

He warns the person beforehand about the hell of a mother in law they're about to have

Mrs DeGroot tho be like "FUCKING FINALLYYY"

I think he'd sober up for his wedding.

Alike Scout I don't think he'd want to get married while still on the contract with Mann Co.

Engineer

I think he would have a wedding during his contract if he ever did get a fiancé.

He probably fantasizes about going on some cowboy adventure for the honeymoon.

I think he gets overly excited and he himself is just trying not to cry the whole time.

Heavy

He's not getting married during his contract.

He'll make sure his family likes whoever he's marrying first.

I think he'd be excited to get married if it ever came down to it.

It's a small wedding. Like real small.

Spy

If it's not Scout's mom he don't want it/j

But like seriously I can't see this man ever getting married. At all

I'm so sorry Spy fans

Medic

Someone wants to marry him? This guy? Even he's in disbelief

He's not opposed to the idea he just never thought it would ever happen to him of all people

It's not anything big but dear God is it fancy.

It's a Jewish wedding bc Jewish Medic headcanon beloved

He's very stressed about the preparations.

Sniper

Sniper? Marriage?

It's not for him.

It's not that he doesn't want a partner it's just that he doesn't want a wedding.

Get in the courthouse get the papers and get out kinda guy.

What is the difference between a Shia wedding and a Sunni wedding?

Shi'a don't require witnesses when the marriage contract is being signed. However, it is recommended to have at least two witnesses present. It is mandatory to have two witnesses when a divorce takes place. Sunnis require you to have two witnesses during the marriage ceremony, while it is not required to have witnesses during a divorce ceremony.

There is the concept of temporary marriage (Zawaj al-Mutah) within Shi'a Islam that allows partners to engage in a relationship for a fixed time. The purpose of such marriage is sexual gratification. Although the concept exists within the fiqh of Sunni Islam, it has ever since been banned by Umar.

Shi'as prohibit permanent marriages to the People of the Book (Jewish people, Christians, Zoroastrians, Sabeans and various Abrahamic religions) but allow for Shi'as to be temporarily married to them; Sunnis allow it in permanent marriage. Shi'as are allowed to be in a permanent marriage with Muslims of different branches of Islam.

You can do rabbinic midrash on Heat 2 and get the “Assimilation” Narrative to end all Assimilation Narratives, encyclopedic in scope, James Joyce for Dumb Schmucks, Fabelmans Wake if you will. But you can also do kabbalistic PaRDeS on Heat 2, which invites an interpretation of the final scene as a Jewish wedding (complete with ring ceremony and broken glass and signing/witnessing of a contract), in which Vincent and Neil are cosmically reunited Prophet/Talmudic Sage/Ostjude + Student/Maskil/Weimar Libertine, rediscovering the garden only in esoteric secret, in the irrepressible transgressive drive toward “free play” that exists beyond reach of the panopticon, a locked shadow-space that YOU as reader must voyeuristically trespass upon in order to glimpse. To Delmore Schwartz the World is a Wedding; to Michael Mann weltliteratur is Champagne Supernova. This is why I’ve been going completely insane for a year and the only other person who shares my enthusiasm is a film professor who studied English literature and wrote a book on Yiddish cinema.

One of my favorite Saul Bellow excerpts is from his short story “The Old System,” written in 1967:

A Madison Avenue rabbi, by this time. The little synagogue was wiped out. It was as dead as the Dutch painters who would have appreciated its dimness and its shaggy old peddlers. Now there was a temple like a World’s Fair pavilion. Isaac was the president, having beaten out the father of a famous hoodlum, once executioner for the Mob in the Northeast. The worldly rabbi with his trained voice and tailored suits, like a Christian minister except for the play of Jewish cleverness in his face, hinted to the old-fashioned part of the congregation that he had to pour it on for the sake of the young people. America. Extraordinary times. If you wanted the young women to bless Sabbath candles, you had to start their rabbi at twenty thousand dollars, and add a house and a Jaguar.

In THIS economy? Nowadays I’ll settle for a pulp Pentateuch. “Go to bed, Bux!” I know, I know

Ketubbah from Casale Monferrato, 1772

Celebrating the marriage of Meir ben Johanan Solomon (known as Jonah Zalman) and Zipporah bat Simeon Hayyim Levi Morello on Friday, 1 Adar II 5532 (March 6, 1772).

This exquisitely decorated marriage contract records the wedding of members of two of the most important families in the Piedmontese town of Casale Monferrato. The groom, Emilio Meir Vitta Zalman (1756-1820), was the scion of a prominent family of landowners and bankers. He was a lay member of Napoleon’s Sanhedrin, and his son, Giuseppe Raffaele Vitta, was made a baron in 1855 for his contribution to the nation in assisting soldiers wounded in the Crimean War. 

The document is lavishly decorated with a richly colored floral border within which cupids frolic. The family emblems of the groom and bride adorn the ketubbah and appear in ovals at the top right and left of the document. The tapered shape of the parchment’s lower portion is a characteristic feature of ketubbot from Casale Monferrato and gives the document the appearance of a shield. The small but active Italian Jewish community of Casale Monferrato is well known for its synagogue, an architectural jewel of baroque magnificence, as well as for the production of beautiful ceremonial objects. Surprisingly, however, fewer than a dozen decorated ketubbot from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Casale Monferrato survive, and the present marriage contract is a rare, splendid example of the manner in which the Jews of Piedmont would celebrate their joyous occasions.
