Intro

Dress your Shabbat table with a challah cover embroidered in flowing silver silk thread. Pomegranates trail in scrolling vines across a deep blue ground, with the words Shabbat V'Yom Tov embroidered at the center, and the challah stays covered beneath it on the table during kiddush. The pomegranate has long stood for blessing and abundance, fitting for the meal it opens. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish tables for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made from a durable cotton and polyester blend, the cover is embroidered in silk thread across a plain cream ground bordered in blue. It measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to drape over a standard challah loaf or board. The pomegranate pattern and Hebrew lettering are worked in matching silver thread, giving the piece a finished look on both the cover and its wide scrolling border.

Gift Ideas

The cover suits a housewarming, wedding, or engagement gift, especially for someone furnishing their first Shabbat table. It also works well for a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary, marking a milestone with something used every week. Its restrained blue and silver palette make it a fitting gift for a couple building a Jewish home together.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover in cold water or dry clean it to protect the silk embroidery. Lay it flat to dry and avoid wringing or high heat, which can distort the stitching.
