This is an invitation to the wedding of Ruth Sackner's nephew in Israel designed by the artist calligrapher, Denni Ann Gershaw. One sheet on parchment paper is designed with the Hebrew letters Lamed and Vav, the first initials of the bride Liat and the groom Benjamin. These two letters also spell "heart" in Hebrew and it is the first word from a quote from the Book of Psalms which is written in calligraphy around the two letters. This motif is repeated on the second sheet, the actual wedding invitation, as an under printing. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
