Intro

Dress your Shabbat hot plate in a fabric collage of copper curls. Panels of swirling curls and smooth, lustrous fabric surround a cream center panel embroidered with the Lecha Dodi verse. The plata cover goes over the food kept warm on the plata, so it sits in view all evening. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has been part of Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Pieced from patchwork fabric panels in copper and bronze tones, the plata cover measures 31.5 by 26 inches. That size is made to drape over a plata, not over a challah. The center panel is embroidered in gold toned thread, and the cover weighs about 0.84 pounds.

Gift Ideas

Elegant and practical, the plata cover makes a thoughtful housewarming gift. It suits a wedding or an engagement for a couple setting up a Shabbat kitchen. It also works for an anniversary, or for a bar or bat mitzvah family hosting often. The warm copper tones fit a range of kitchens.

Care Instructions

Spot clean the fabric gently with a damp cloth and let it air dry flat. Avoid soaking and harsh cleaners so the embroidery and the curl panels keep their color.
