Intro

Set the tone for your Shabbat table with a challah cover built around two concentric embroidered borders, an outer frame and an inner frame of pomegranates, flowers, vines and small birds, in rich maroon tones. The challah cover is placed over the bread at the table until it is time to bring it out. Pomegranates throughout the design carry their familiar 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 from a durable cotton and polyester blend, the cover is finished with silk embroidery in both borders and across the Hebrew lettering at its center. It measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to rest over a standard challah loaf or two. The double frame leaves the open center free for the embroidered blessing, set apart from the surrounding vines and birds.

Gift Ideas

The double border and rich maroon palette make this a fitting gift for a wedding, housewarming, or a couple setting up a Jewish home. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary as well, marking a milestone with something for the Shabbat table. Its detailed embroidery gives it lasting appeal well beyond any single occasion.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover gently in cool water to protect the silk embroidery, or dry clean if preferred. Lay flat to dry and keep it away from direct heat and harsh detergents to preserve its color and stitching.
