Hi everyone! It's Morgan and I just started a new project selling modern and contemporary custom ketubahs designed by amazing Jewish artists from Argentina! I'd love to hear what you think about my new site: This is not a Ketubah - Yes it is! PS: You might also like our sister sites, Orthodox Ketubot and lgbt ketubahs :)

In the original Yiddish!

In life, each of us must sometimes play the fool

When you grease palms, you ride

Words should be weighed, not counted.

The truly rich are those who enjoy what they have.

A fool is his own informer.

Petty thieves are hanged, major ones go free

Bygone troubles are good to tell

When one must, one can.

He who comes for the inheritance is often made to pay for the funeral

Beware of still water, a still dog, and a still enemy.

A rich man's foolish sayings pass for wise ones.

If you have nothing to lose, you can try everything.

The soldiers fight, and the kings are heroes
