Intro

Set the tone for Shabbat with a challah cover that keeps the bread out of sight until kiddush is complete. The cream ground is embroidered in gold silk thread with the full Hebrew text of the Kiddush blessing, the lines spaced evenly across the cover. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose Judaica has furnished Shabbat tables for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made from a durable cotton and polyester blend, the cover is embroidered in gold silk thread rather than printed or appliqued. It measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to rest over a standard challah board or tray. The cream fabric holds the embroidery cleanly and keeps its shape wash after wash.

Gift Ideas

A challah cover suits a housewarming, a wedding, or a gift for someone setting up their first Shabbat table. It also fits well as an engagement or bar or bat mitzvah gift, or simply a thoughtful gesture for a couple who keeps Shabbat regularly. The Kiddush text gives it a personal, ritual weight beyond decoration.

Care Instructions

Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in cold water, and avoid bleach or harsh detergents near the embroidery. Lay the cover flat to dry and press lightly if needed to keep the gold thread crisp.
