Ketubot 16 and 17

Today’s Talmud page, Ketubot 16 and 17, reminds us that the ketubah, the Jewish wedding contract many couples have framed and hanging in their home, isn’t just a beautiful artifact but a binding legal contract. What happens if you lose it? Mark Oppenheimer, our very own Corduroy Rav, joins us to tell the epic tale of his very own ketubah, which was printed at home and then promptly misplaced. What does this snafu mean for the marriage? Listen and find out.
