I believe this Ketubah is written in Aramaic and has some handwritten information in Hebrew or Yiddish. Please help with translation, especially of the names of the bride and groom, the names of the witnesses, and the date and location of the marriage ceremony. Thank you very much.

This is a tenaim document, or engagement agreement.
Representing the groom named Moshe Mordechai is Tzvi the son of Avraham.
Representing the bride Esther Yehudis is Tzvi Yehuda Schor (oddly the surname is mentioned). The bride agreed to bring in a dowry of 500 dollars. The wedding will take place on 12th?? of the month of Marcheshvam 5668 (the date is hard to read, but the month and year are accurate, if I am correct, it is Sun, 20 October 1907) in New York?.
Signed on the 12th of Marcheshvan (same date as above), New York?.
Signed by Moshe Mordechai Beck (groom)
Signed by Esther Yehudis Schor (bride)

I can't make out the witness names, but the second may be Shimon Melir.

You had this same image posted in a different category, and I answered it there.

I agree that the bride's name was Esther Yehudit, not Yehudit; I apologize for missing the first part of her name.

As to the date: it is the 10th, as I indicated there (the Hebrew reads "asarah yamim").
