Intro

Bring color to your Shabbat table with a challah cover appliqued in layered pomegranates, their stems and outlines embroidered across a blue silk ground. The challah stays covered on the table during kiddush, and this cover keeps it in style. The Hebrew words Shabbat V'Yom Tov are embroidered across the front, and the pomegranates carry their own meaning of blessing and abundance. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made of silk, the cover is decorated with appliqued pomegranate shapes, their vines, leaves and lettering finished in embroidery by skilled artisans. The piece measures 19.5 x 15.5 inches, sized to drape comfortably over a standard Shabbat challah. Its blue ground carries the pomegranate motif in shades of red, pink, and burgundy for a rich, layered look.

Gift Ideas

A colorful challah cover suits a wedding, engagement, or housewarming gift, especially for a couple furnishing their first Shabbat table. It also fits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary gift for someone who values Jewish ritual objects. The design works equally well as a warm gift for any occasion tied to a Jewish home.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover gently in cold water, or dry clean to protect the silk and embroidery. Lay it flat to dry and avoid wringing or harsh detergents, which can dull the fabric's sheen.
