💖 Unique Ketubah & Judaica 💎Custom Art
✨Inspired by you!✨
✨ ILLUMINATING YOUR ESSENCE BY MINDFUL ART ✨ Hey friends 💖 I'm Anat, the creator of LEILA.
(2)
I'm very happy you came to visit! The artwork I create focuses on bringing beauty to your meaningful words, and through my art, I hope to uplift your words and illuminate your essence.
We aim to find our other half.. but the truth is we are already whole✨ when we get to know ourselves, get to trust ourselves, and get to support ourselves.. we discover that we are truly whole. when two whole individuals find each other, and walk through the journey of life together, theire united existence shines bright.
Their united love is whole in it self.
The Half never existed …✨
A while back… 🌿when I just started out creating custom ketubahs, I discovered the amazing honour I was given, to create an art piece that holds so much meaning and personality. Not because I’m the one who creates it, rather because of the couple that receives it on the other end. 💕
Each custom ketubah artwork, illuminates a personal story. It contains an entire world. Symbolic elements, colours and textures, are woven together into a carefully tailored ״garment״, a unique and bespoke, rare jewel.
A ketubah symbolises the beginning of your new journey as a couple. It expresses your identity and your most sacred values. Weather you’re using the traditional text or an alternative text, the artwork is an amazing opportunity to portray your vision and your personal story as a couple. That’s the beauty of art. It gives endless freedom to express yourself. I truly feel blessed to be able to create such meaningful keepsakes. To give you a work of art, a ketubah, that tells YOUR story. ✨…………………………………………………………………..✨

Things I’m learning from nature🌿🌷🌸🌞 during this difficult time of war, filled with uncertainty and chaos, I find comfort and wisdom looking closely at nature… the flowers keep on blossoming, the trees, keep blossoming, the sun keeps shining… the circle of life is strong and resilient. The blossoming flower grows in to a ripe fruit filled with seeds. The fruit is ripe to the point of wilting… then it’s seeds fall back to Earth, growing into new potentials.
We are part of nature in that way… We grow and bloom, we wither, sometimes we are plucked from the branch on which we grew. The seeds in the earth continues to yield... the cycle of nature persists in its glory, the glory of flowering and the glory of wilting.🌿🌾🌱
Hey dear friends❤️🩹 this is the first time I’m writing to you since the war started and it’s actually been a long while before that I have been absent from social media…
i’m not sure I can choose the right words to describe my feelings and my thoughts throughout these difficult days here in Israel. I can only say that I feel sadness, fear, confusion, and disappointment, alongside with hope, love, unity and clarity. I know it seems like it doesn’t make any sense to feel opposite feelings… but the truth is, all that has happened throughout the past two weeks is a strong and clear reminder for me of the nature of our existence…
The deep understanding that we have no control over the inevitable change in our life, we have no control over the actions of other people, we have no control over our emotions and our thoughts. The only control we have is on our attention. Our ability to navigate our attention towards graceful and helpful actions and thoughts. Our only safe space is our inner space. Our stability comes from our ability to observe all of these constant changes. And our responsibility is to navigate our attention towards the good.

Shanna tovah 🍎🍯💖🐣 Dear friends, i’m excited and a little nervous to officially post that I’m done with my maternity leave and back at my studio! Well… mostly😅. I love spending time and discovering this new little human that joined our family. For me, this is a time of learning and choreographing a delicate “dance” between motherhood and running my own business.
To be honest I’m still not able to work from my studio every day as before. for now, i’m working a few days each week and hopefully as time passes I’ll be able to work full time. I love what I do! Creating unique and meaningful artwork is an honour for me! So feel free to contact me for any Judaica or ketubah art you have in mind💖
Wishing us all a balanced year, filled with joy, creativity, health and love ❤️ My we all have creative and fruitful days ahead of us✨

MISCONCEPTIONS and myths about your ketubah✨ 2️⃣ “A Ketubah Is not supposed to be hanged up on the wall as an art piece, rather kept safe in a closed drawer” -🔔WELL….
This misconception is actually more common in Israel, but the truth is that beautiful ketubah manuscripts were illuminated with illustrations for decades! There is hysterical evidence of gorgeous ancient ketubahs from all over the world, portraying detailed artistry influenced bye different cultures and surroundings. The ketubah is such a meaningful Part in the decision of getting married and creating a future together. Whether it’s the traditional ketubah text or an alternative personal text. It is a statement of intentions for your relationship, and it should be proudly and beautifully displayed.💖✨
Make your ketubah - Your own!🌿 Tip No 4️⃣
My fourth tip for you is - 📍Incorporate a symbol:
Even within an existing design, there’s usually an option to “swipe” an existing element with a new illustrated fragment. You can add a symbolic illustrated detail, that stands for something meaningful in your life. It could be as simple as your favourite flower 🌸

Is my name LEILA???🌿
Many of you think that my name is Leila, and it always brings a smile to my face😊.. My name is Anat, i’m the creator of Leila. LEILA is the name that I chose for my brand. the origin of this word comes from ancient Aramic language- לְעֵלָּא וּלְעֵלָּא … it's literal translation would be “elevate”, but the deeper meaning is to uplift something in a spiritual way to its highest level. That is exactly what I'm aiming for. My mission is to take the beautiful words that you choose for yourselves and to illuminate them through my art and uplift them to the highest spiritual level.
GARDEN OF EDEN 🦚🌱🦋 This ketubah process was very special to me, since the bride is an artist herself! To have a fellow artist trust me in creating such a meaningful and personal art piece for her is a big honor! The process started with the concept of the garden of Eden… A mythical and magical atmosphere. The lovely bride wanted to incorporate birds, flowers, suns, stars, and trees with circle elements. She also shared with me pictures of the china she chose for her wedding design, as inspiration. (scroll through the image carousel to see them) I love when couples send me surprising and interesting references for inspiration! I’ve gathered up all of these inspirational threads, and created this new ketubah jewel💎✨ An art piece that will make you dive into your own garden of Eden.

A Custom ketubah artwork- how does it work? 💖💍
Many of you have asked me about the process of a fully custom ketubah, so I thought it would be nice to write a proper post about it😊
Creating your own custom wedding ketubah is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!🖌️
This artwork brings beauty to the meaningful words that start your life together ❤️
🔵The process:
You guys fill in a personal ketubah questionnaire that helps me get to know your style and your specific requests.
🔵 Then we’ll video chat, to summarize the vision for the artwork, with a rough sketch.
🔵 After we've defined the vision, I'm going to take everything that you've shared with me, and I’ll create a unique and beautiful art piece for you, inspired by you!
🔔I highly recommend to start the process as soon as possible. That way I can schedule you properly. A custom ketubah is a work of art, and the creative process takes a while. I put all my love and intention in this process, so I like to give it enough time, ahead of time. 🙏🏼
❤️ you’re welcome to DM me or email me or contact me through my website.. I’m available for you on all of these platforms. So don’t be shy😊💖

A bo***ir is a women’s private and intimate salon. The bo***ir style opened me up to a world of feminine energy with sensuality and depth. Combining softness and luxury.
In this wedding stationary suit I’ve created, I wanted to convey a sense of feminine intimacy, gentle and powerful at the same time. I combined organic textures along with vibrant and deep colours to convey a passionate, natural beauty.

I had such a special experience working on this Bo***ir wedding stationery set. It really took me out of my comfort zone.. i usually create colourful and light spirited designs, and this time I was challenged to work with a specific colour palette and atmosphere. The Bo***ir style took me to a deep and passionate look and I’m thrilled with the final result and so thankful that art keeps on surprising me and opening my heart to new directions.

The story behind the “Jerusalem birds” Ketubah design🕊 this ketubah was originally inspired by Ravital & Nethanel, an amazing couple, living in Israel and breathing Judaism with all of their being. (In this picture above I’ve replaced the original text) When I was doing my visual research for this art piece I’ve had in mind the unique connection that this couple has to the land of Israel. So I thought, what would be better and more suitable than a blue and white colour palette?! This design draws inspiration from ancient ketubhas.. incorporating the symbol of fish for fertility and good luck and a symmetrical balance with in the artwork. I’ve also wanted to incorporate the Jerusalem landscape and the white dove with an olive branch, representing hope, love and peace. This design has a classic atmosphere with a whimsical twist.
I often ask myself when should I leave the artwork to be… when is a piece completed?
A creative process has no rules. At times I have a strong and precise vision, and at other times, I am led blindly by the force of creativity.
Creativity is like a beautiful horse in the wild. Sometimes it allows me to ride on its back, and set the tone by pulling the reins in a certain direction…
And sometimes, I walk by its side, learning, listening in curiosity, and trusting the process…
That is enough for me.

DREAMY JOURNEY☁️🌿💕 Andrew & Christina wanted a ketubah that will be magical, whimsical, and adventurous. They wanted to create a cozy and playful atmosphere. This ketubah features both of them as a couple, standing on a hill and looking at a sunrise scenery. They’re holding hands as a symbol of love, support, and peacefulness. Christina’s figure is holding a daisy flower as a symbol to their beloved dog, Daisy. In the center of the landscape, I’ve illustrated a lake with a river to represent their hometowns, Chicago and Pittsburgh. The top part of the artwork is built out of beautiful English garden flowers that create the shape of an arch, symbolizing the arch in St. Louis, Missouri, where they’ve met. The color scheme is based on lime green, periwinkle purple, and sunflower orange to match the dreamy and hopeful atmosphere. This ketubah portrays their inner love journey, a journey of dream, hope, playfulness, and magic . . #ketubah #whimsical #adventurous #cozy #playful #love #support #peacefulness #dreamjourney #hope #playfulness #jewishwedding

ROOT to LOVE 🪆❤️ Ilona and Ramon wanted a ketubah that will reflect the flow of faith. The two birds represent both of them growing from the same source, the same Russian roots, into different individuals with their own path, and united together in love at the top of the circle. The outer space of the meeting between the two heads of the birds also created a perfect heart shape. The starry blue background behind the two lovebirds is a reference to their Jewish culture. At the bottom center of the artwork, I’ve illustrated a large traditional Russian folk art flower with a samovar and a matryoshka within a little house, stacked one over the other. Referring to the traditional Russian folk art layout, the large flower symbolizes the Russian roots that they both grew up on. The samovar represents their mutual love for traditional Russian food. The matryoshka, set within a little home, represents fertility and their aim to build a home and a family together. The overall natural flow upwards stands for the mutual values of continuously developing and growing both as individuals and as a couple and a family. On each side of the artwork, I’ve illustrated dancing flowers with musical notes surrounding them, symbolizing their love for arts, music, and dance. At each of the upper corners of the artwork, I’ve illustrated a circular window into a magical landscape, representing their mutual love for adventures and exploring the world. Subtle golden dog paws are placed within the artwork as a little hint to their beloved dog. This unique ketubah is actually a love letter to their Russian roots that allow them to grow into a beautiful and loving new family. . . #ketubah #jewishwedding #judaica #jewishtradition

The Wave 🌊 is still one of the most powerful symbols! The wave symbolizes the nature of our life, the nature of our thoughts and feelings. The nature of our journey. Everything in this world has the nature of a wave Every thought and every feeling has a start, a duration and an end. Our physical life has the nature of a wave We are born, we live, and we die. This may seem like a harsh symbol, but it is actually the most simple and relieving truth. When we live our lives with acceptance of, it’s wavy nature, we are able to live with less conflict and less struggle. When we accept that everything has the nature of a wave, we are synchronized with our existence. We have more capacity and compassion towards our thoughts and feelings… we live at in acceptance and appreciation of what is given to us. We are able to see our journey as a couple with all its ups and downs. We are able to accept ourselves and our partner as what we are, with each and every wave that comes our way. . . #ketubah #ketubahart #judaica #jewishwedding #jewishtradition

MYSTICAL HAMSA🪬🧿 Michelle and David wanted a ketubah that will represent safety and good luck. So I’ve illustrated a hamsa is the main element of this ketubah. The strong structure of the hamsa represents the strength of their relationship. Its symmetry and its balance represents the beautiful balance and equality of the relationship. Michelle comes from a Ukrainian background and David comes from an Israeli background. So they chose iconic flowers that would represent their cultures. Iconic Ukrainian folk art flowers and anemone flowers that represent Israel. This blooming combination represents both of their cultures, their uniqueness and the beauty of their growth together. Michelle sees David as her protecting lion and David sees Michelle as his queen. So they wanted to symbolize that through a lion and a lioness with crowns on their head. The blue colors and the evil eye symbol add another layer of protection and good luck. This ketubah seals within it all the love and the protection that these two give to each other. . . #ketubahdesign #weddingtraditions #hamsasymbol #lovestory #jewishwedding #goodluck #strongrelationship #marriagegoals #ukrainianheritage #equalpartnership

Pomegranates ❤️are a symbol of fertility and love. Their beautiful flowers and fruit also symbolize sanctity and abundance. In Jewish tradition, pomegranates are associated with righteousness, since they supposedly contain 613 seeds, which correspond with the 613 commandments of the Torah. The pomegranate is also one of the seven species, which makes it a beautiful symbol of Israel. . . #pomegranates #ketubah #jewishwedding #jewishlove #jewishtradition
