Intro

Dress your Shabbat plata in deep blue with a patchwork fabric collage. The plata cover rests over the hot plate and the food kept warm on it. Blue panels and geometric patterned patches frame a cream center embroidered with the Lecha Dodi line, "Lecha dodi likrat kalah, pnei Shabbat nekabelah," which welcomes Shabbat like a bride. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has been part of Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Pieced from fabric in a patchwork collage, the plata cover measures 31.5 by 26 inches. Blue panels and patterned patches surround a cream center with the embroidered Hebrew text. Sized to drape over a plata, it weighs about 0.84 pounds and folds flat for storage between Shabbat meals.

Gift Ideas

A plata cover is a practical choice for a housewarming or a wedding. It suits an engagement or an anniversary for a couple building a Jewish home. It also works for a bar or bat mitzvah family setting up a Shabbat kitchen, or as a thoughtful gift any time of year.

Care Instructions

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and let the fabric air dry. Keep the cover away from direct heat and open flame. Press on a low setting if needed, avoiding the embroidered text.
