• 31.5" x 26"
• Maroon fabric
• For the Shabbat plata
• Designed by Yair Emanuel

Intro

Dress your Shabbat hot plate in rich maroon with a plata cover embroidered with pomegranates and curling vines. Shabbat Shalom is stitched in Hebrew at the center, rising from a dense garden of blossoms. The plata cover sits over the hot plate and the food kept warm on it for the Shabbat meal. Pomegranates stand for blessing and abundance, and Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel designed the piece, as part of work that has been in Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made from maroon fabric with a soft sheen, the plata cover measures 31.5 by 26 inches and weighs approximately 0.8 pounds. The size is cut to drape fully over a plata and the dishes warming on it. Pomegranates, vines and leaves are embroidered in rose, green, gold and blue thread along the lower edge. The plain upper field keeps the design clear and balanced.

Gift Ideas

A plata cover makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for anyone setting up a Jewish home. It suits a wedding or engagement just as well, since the couple will use it week after week. It also works for an anniversary, or for a bar or bat mitzvah family hosting often. The colorful embroidery and maroon fabric make it a warm choice outside those moments too.

Care Instructions

Spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth and let it air dry flat. Keep the embroidery away from direct flame and abrasive cleaners so the thread colors stay bright.
