Ketuba!
Or rather: my awesome older brother got married! to a wonderful lady!
For those of you who don’t know, a ketuba is a Jewish marriage contract – in days of yore it had things in it stipulating the dowry, etc, and the bride’s right to be provided with “nonprocreative sex.” (awesome). and burial costs, etc. My brother’s didn’t have that – but it was in hebrew and english and signed in hebrew with everyone’s hebrew name. I got to paint a design onto it:
The hebrew at the top is Ani L’dodi v’dodi li — I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine – from the Songs of Songs.
Congratulations to my brother and his lovely bride! I can’t begin to describe how happy I am for the both of them.
