MARRIAGE CONTRACT: Rare 1,000 Yr Old Ketubah on Exhibit in Jerusalem (Hana Levi Julian, The Jewish Press).

An extremely rare 1,000-year-old ketubah inscribed in Aramaic is now on exhibit in the National Library in Jerusalem.

The Jewish marriage contract dates from November 28, 1023 (CE), according to Dr. Yoel Finkelman, curator for the National Library’s Judaica section.
