Intro

Dress your Shabbat table with a challah cover that keeps the bread set apart until kiddush is complete. Deep blue fabric carries an Oriental pattern of flowers, pomegranates, and birds, embroidered in silver silk with the words Shabbat V'Yom Tov at the center. The pomegranates woven through the design speak to blessing and abundance, a fitting note for the table where the week begins. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made from a durable cotton and polyester blend, the cover is finished with silver silk embroidery across a plain cream ground. It measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to sit over a standard challah or pair of loaves at the Shabbat or Yom Tov table. The embroidered words Shabbat V'Yom Tov anchor the design within a border of flowers, pomegranates, and birds.

Gift Ideas

The rich blue and silver embroidery make this cover a natural gift for a wedding, engagement, or housewarming, especially for a couple furnishing their first Shabbat table. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary, where a lasting Judaica piece means more than a passing gift. Its detailed embroidery gives it a formal quality that fits any occasion calling for a meaningful, well-made present.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cold water or dry clean to protect the silk embroidery, then lay flat to dry. Keep it away from direct sunlight and store folded to preserve the thread's sheen over time.
