Don’t miss out on our specials in honor of Purim. The sale will last through March 12. Although not everything in the store is on sale, you might try asking us for a 10% discount on something not on special during our Adar specials.

For those of you who were wondering, although the Ketubbot are listed at 16×20″, other sizes are also available. Feel free to ask, and I will try to accommodate you. In addition, your ketubbah can have a white border or no border at all, and you may also commission a new Ketubbah. I’m happy to discuss new Ketubbah options.
If you order color birkonim, you may also choose to use the ketubbah design as your birkon cover design.

I mentioned in an earlier post that when we started this site we envisioned sponsors to help pay for the site that hosts the Bnei Akiva birkonim. One of my favorite sponsors is the Oriental Trading Company
because it fits right in with our customers’ needs. Why? because they provide party supplies and shtick! Plates and so forth as well as masks and bubbles such as the ones you can see below.

I have been noticing many hits to our site for the terms “Yonah” and “Ateret Zekeinim.” Although the searchers are not specifically searching for my Yonah or Ateret Zekeinim, I thought i would highlight what these searches are seeing.
Yonah/Jonah is, of course, referring to the story of Jonah and the Big Fish. I always liked bright colors, pattern and gradation of color. At one point I also had a version of this as a Rosh Hashanah card where Jonah swims in and is ejected out of the fish (after Teshuvah, right?) This one, however, is much larger and can hang on the wall.

The Ateret Zekeinim is based on the verse in Mishlei- loosely translated here as the crown of the elders is their grandchildren. This is based on a commissioned work for first time grandparents. I liked that the children create the shape of a crown. And I always like abstract and vector-y images.
When I see specific search terms I often wonder why people are searching for these things. Are they researchers? Are they artists? Or are they interested in purchasing art? In any event I hope they like what they see.
