Intro

Bring color to your Shabbat table with a challah cover embroidered in silk thread, pomegranates and scrolling vines trailing across a rich maroon panel beneath the words "Shabbat Ve'yom Tov." The pomegranate has long stood for blessing and abundance, a fitting motif for the table where the week begins. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has found a place in Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Woven from a cotton and polyester blend, the cover is embroidered in silk thread rather than by hand, giving the pomegranate design its crisp, lasting detail. The panel measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to cover a standard challah for Shabbat and Yom Tov. Light and easy to fold, it lays flat over the loaves at the table.

Gift Ideas

Rich in color and detail, this challah cover makes a fitting gift for a housewarming, a wedding, or an engagement. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary equally well, and works nicely for a couple furnishing their first Jewish home. Its warm palette makes it a welcome gift beyond those occasions too.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover in cool water or dry clean to protect the silk embroidery. Keep it away from direct heat and harsh detergents, and lay it flat to dry so the colors stay bright.
