Noam Shargorodsky is a Jerusalem-based ketubah artist and the founder of KetubaHome, known for original watercolor and laser-cut papercut ketubahs, personalized for couples worldwide. For the past seven years, working from my studio in Efrat, just outside Jerusalem, I've had the privilege of creating ketubahs for more than 1,600 couples across the world.
I'm passionate about two things: art and Judaism, and my work is where they meet. I draw inspiration from authentic Jewish texts, studied in the original Hebrew, and from the landscapes around me, especially the Old City of Jerusalem and the Western Wall. You'll often find traditional motifs in my designs, like the Seven Species of the Land of Israel, olive branches, and grapevines.
How I work. Each design begins as an original painting I create by hand in watercolor with genuine gold leaf. I then offer these designs as high-quality fine-art giclée prints, each personalized with your names, your text, and your wedding date, so you get all the beauty of the original artwork, made uniquely yours. I also offer papercut ketubahs: my original designs, precision laser-cut for intricate detail, with a background color of your choice.
Styles I create: watercolor ketubahs, papercut / laser-cut ketubahs, modern and minimalist designs, Jerusalem and landscape designs, botanical and floral designs, and fully custom pieces, with optional 24k gold leaf.
For every couple. I create ketubahs for couples of every background, with a full range of text options: Orthodox, Sephardi, Conservative (with the Lieberman clause), Reform, Interfaith, Egalitarian, secular, and same-sex / LGBTQ+, in Hebrew, English, or both. I guide you through every step, from choosing your text to the finished piece arriving safely at your door, usually within 4–6 weeks.
As seen in. My work has been featured in The Knot, Smashing the Glass, and ketubah.com, where I'm also a listed artist, with 340+ five-star reviews from couples around the world.
A ketubah isn't just a contract you sign and put away. It's a piece of art that holds the moment your marriage began. My hope is that yours stays on your wall, sparking thought and conversation, for many years to come.
When I'm not painting, I'm at home in Efrat with my husband Shaul and our four children. If you're getting married, I'd love to hear your story. Reach out here and let's create something that's truly yours.
