| from David Moss, who revived the tradition of the illuminated ketubah in the 1960s, LOVE LETTERS A Celebration of Jewish Love and Marriage in Words and Images BEGINNING IN THE LATE 1960s, David Moss began to revive the handwritten, illuminated ketubah (pl. ketubot), the traditional Jewish marriage contract. The illuminated ketubah, a centuries-old artistic tradition, had virtually disappeared due to the development of quick and affordable printing. Love Letters presents a vast collection of the stunningly imaginative illuminated ketubot of David Moss, creator of the acclaimed Moss Haggadah. His ketubot are “illuminated” in the medieval meaning of the term — artistically rendered to enlighten intellectually and spiritually, to clarify, and to celebrate. |

"David Moss's work over his thirty-five year career has made a major contribution to the revival of the tradition of the ketubah -- celebrating love and marriage through this unique medium in Jewish art. This book captures Moss's achievement -- allowing each couple's unique story to flower within the framework of an age-old ritual practice -- and always at a highest possible standard of calligraphy, illustration, and production, which is his hallmark. Moss's work is a truly admirable marriage of tradition and technique." -- James S. Snyder, director, The Israel Museum, Jerusalem |
