Paraliturgical text read in the synagogue during the festival of Shavuot.
Paraliturgical text in Hebrew chanted to the traditional melody for the reading of a family ketubah in the synagogue during the festival of Shavuot, at the time the Torah scrolls are brought out of the ark. It is an allegorical text written in the form of a ketubah with the date 6 Sivan and the place of the event, Mount Sinai, celebrating the marriage between Israel and the Torah. The handwritten document contains the two texts read on the first and second days of the festival. These texts are generally printed in the prayer books for festival days. Here they are handwritten as for a traditional family ketubah.
