National Library Israel Ketubot Collection

The purpose of the Jewish ketubah is to outline the rights and responsibilities of the groom, in relation to the bride. The ketubah contains three parts: on the part of the groom, which is the primary objective of the ketubah the amount of money he is obligated to pay, as well as the addition to the ketubah, should he choose to add to the base amount. On the wife's part, the dowry is detailed. In addition, the dowry also includes the terms of the ketubah, which were meant to ensure the rights of the woman during the marriage and in the case that the marriage is nullified.

Ketubot have not changed much over the centuries. The marriage documents found in Aramaic papyruses from the days of Artaxerxes the King of Persia from the 5th century B.C.E., are very similar to ketubah documents from other eras and even to modern day ketubot.

The text in the body of the ketubah, the primary legal content, which is written in Aramaic even today - although sometimes translated into Hebrew or English - shows its incredible consistency throughout 2500 years.

Naturally, despite the ancient fixed text, local customs in various communities developed: In North Africa and Yemen husbands were obligated not to force their wives to move from city to city. Occasionally, the woman would be obligated to care for the husband's children from a previous marriage as if they were her children. In Syria and Eretz Yisrael appears the condition forbidding the husband from going on long journeys without first leaving his wife with a conditional divorce in order to protect her from a situation wherein she could become a "chained wife".

In addition to these local customs, there are a number of widespread conditions found in many ketubot dealing with inheritance arrangements in cases where the couple doesn't have children, arranging a situation wherein the husband wants to take another wife, (in places where that custom was common), as well as paragraphs relating to levirate marriage.

Journey beyond the Bible to discover the history, culture and traditions of Jewish people from all corners of the world through the ages.
Our public spaces are closed for the moment.
Following the latest government advice and to keep everyone safe we're closing our Reading Rooms, galleries and public spaces in St Pancras and Boston Spa.

We'll let you know as soon as the situation changes and we're able to welcome you back safely.
Until then, you can explore our exhibitions from home.
Explore the wonderful treasures in Hebrew Manuscripts: Journeys of the Written Word when you take our virtual tour , or jump into our interactive UK map to discover locations linked to women's activism near you or explore other stories on our Unfinished Business: The Fight for Women's Rights web resource .

Through rarely-seen treasures from as far back as the 10th century, this exhibition takes you from Europe and North Africa, through to the Middle East and China to explore the relationships between Jews and their neighbours in the communities that they lived in.

How much knowledge and culture was exchanged between these groups? Fascinating works displayed on music, science and philosophy by famous Jewish scholars suggest there was more than we might think.

Witness both the high points and the lows of these relationships. An Italian rabbi's reply to Henry VIII, who sought advice on divorcing his first wife. A 13th-century Anglo-Jewish charter showing the passing of property between people of different faiths. And the signs of conflict as we encounter Christian censorship in Jewish texts.

Along the way, meet the sages versed in magic, Kabbalah and alchemy, and even learn a love potion or two, as we discover the power of the written word.

Generously supported by the Dr Michael and Anna Brynberg Charitable Foundation.

With thanks to the Harold Hyam Wingate Foundation, the Shoresh Charitable Trust, and The David Pearlman Charitable Foundation.

Das Portal Compact Memory umfasst 366 jüdische Zeitungen und Zeitschriften des vorwiegend deutschsprachigen Raumes aus den Jahren 1768-1938. Die Periodika repräsentieren die gesamte religiöse, politische, soziale, literarische und wissenschaftliche Bandbreite der jüdischen Gemeinschaft und der "Wissenschaft des Judentums". Sie stellen für die Erforschung des Judentums in der Neuzeit eine der wichtigsten Quellen dar.

Auf Grund der Beschaffenheit vieler historischer Zeitschriften sowie der Kriegsverluste sind die Zeitschriften in dieser Vollständigkeit in keiner Bibliothek im Original mehr vollständig zu finden. Die Zeitschriften - und Zeitschriftenfragmente - wurden aus unterschiedlichen Bibliotheksbeständen digitalisiert und zusammengefügt und liegen nun elektronisch erstmalig annähernd vollständig vor. Sie können ausgedruckt bzw. gespeichert werden, fast alle Titel sind mit OCR bearbeitet und als Volltext durchsuchbar.
Knapp 80.000 Einzelbeiträge von mehr als 10.000 Autoren sind bibliographisch erschlossen. Das digitalisierte Seitenvolumen beläuft sich gegenwärtig auf mehr als 1.050.000 Seiten. Kontinuierlich werden fehlende Jahrgänge in Koopration mit anderen Bibliotheken ergänzt und weitere relevante Zeitschriften hinzugefügt.

Die Digitalisierung wurde zu Beginn von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft gefördert und in Kooperation mit Prof. Dr. Hans Otto Horch, Professor Emeritus des Lehr- und Forschungsgebiets Europäisch-Jüdische Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte an der RWTH Aachen und Dr. Annette Haller, Leiterin der Bibliothek Germania Judaica in Köln durchgeführt. Im Rahmen des Projektes Judaica Europeana wurden die Titel auch in die Europeana integriert, die Europäische Digitale Bibliothek.

Ab 2017 wird das Projekt in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Leo Baeck Institute in New York / Center for Jewish History fortgeführt.

Seit 2004 wird Compact Memory im UNESCO Archives Portal verzeichnet.

The Jewish press in its many and varied languages is first and foremost a source of information on the history and culture of world Jewry and on the countries of Jews' residence in the modern era. The Historical Jewish Press website brings the data and Digital Humanities revolution to this field and offers the possibility to perform a full search of all the published text of a given newspaper throughout all the years of its publication. Using the Veridian powered digital newspaper platform of the Veridian-Software company, the website hopes to make available online the majority of Jewish newspapers and journals published in the past, including extremely rare newspapers to which access has been previously impossible.

This website's initiators, Tel Aviv University and the National Library of Israel, encourage additional partners and contributors - be they academic, public, or private groups or individuals - to join in this project, with the goal of expanding our collection and establishing within it distinctive departments organized by language and locality. Our ambition is for the website to provide representation of all the Jewish communities of the world and of the newspapers which they have published.
