The Conservative Leiberman Clause Ketubah

The Conservative text is the same as the Traditional Aramaic with the addition of a paragraph called the Lieberman Clause. This is a legally binding agreement that carries clout in contemporary courts of law stating that in the event of a divorce, the couple agrees to abide by the decision of the Rabbinic Assembly concerning the Jewish divorce. If one of the parties does not abide by the rabbis' decision, they are entitled to bring the matter before a civil court for enforcement. The intention is to prevent the Gett (Jewish divorce), without which the wife would be prevented from remarrying, from becoming a bargaining tool for the husband.
The English text that is offered is not a direct translation of the Aramaic so for each ketubah that you are considering be sure to read the English. As always, check the text with your rabbi for approval.

Conservative Ketubah
Tree of Life	artist:   Sivia Katz
The tree, a symbol of sustenance, growth, family and tradition, is shown here in each season of the year. The quote from Ecclesiastes, "For everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven," unifies the theme. The domains of sky, earth and water are represented in this watercolor mosaic.
