Blue Dawn Silver Edition Ketubah

The synagogue in Szeged, southern Hungary is one of the most beautiful in all of Europe. Built between 1900 and 1903 under the supervision of architect Leopold Baumhorn, the synagogue displays a fascinating blend of many styles: Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, Roman, and Baroque. The chief Rabbi, Dr. Immanuel Löw, a botanist, is responsible for the many botanical design elements gracing the interior of the synagogue. Several of these botanical design elements can be seen in this ketubah: blackberry briars, willows, and roses around the perimeter. The colors in the synagogue include ivory, silver, and a cobalt blue, which becomes rich and dark in the evening with candlelight; this is the palette chosen by the artist for this ketubah. The pair of trees at dawn in the upper portion are the kind one might happen upon strolling along the banks of the Tisza River outside Szeged. The quote wrapping the ketubah is from Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3: “To everything there is a season; a time for every purpose under the heavens.”
