Ketubah and Engagement Contract
The engagement contract (the longer document) and the marriage contract (the shorter document) are between
Yitzchak-Isaac, the son of Yakov David Turniansky,
from Kibbutz Yakovla Hutava, and Yehudis, the daughter of
Shachne Rynberg, from Yanava.
The wedding took place on the fourth day of the week, the sixth day of the month of Adar II, 5660
[Wednesday, March 7, 1900] in Yanava.
The document states that the groom lives "b'kibbutz Yakovlevo Hutava" (in the colony of Yakovlevo Gutava).
The documents are written in a combination of Yiddish, Hebrew, and Aramaic.
They are from the collection of Miriam Steinberg.
