Intro

Set the tone for your Seder table with a matzah cover embroidered and appliqued with the skyline of Jerusalem. Arched stone walls, towers, and rooftops rise in layered fabric around the word Pesach, worked in stitched Hebrew letters at the center. Jerusalem imagery carries a sense of heritage and connection, fitting for the night the story of the Exodus is retold. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made for the Seder table, the cover holds the three matzot in three separate inner compartments, keeping each one distinct through the evening. The Jerusalem skyline is built from embroidery and appliqued fabric pieces layered onto a cream background. The cover measures 15.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to hold three standard matzot with room to spare.

Gift Ideas

An embroidered matzah cover like this makes a fitting Passover gift for a housewarming, a wedding, or a couple furnishing their first Jewish home. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah gift or an anniversary, especially for someone who hosts their own Seder each year. The detailed embroidery gives it a lasting place on the table year after year.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover gently in cold water, or spot clean with a damp cloth to protect the embroidery and appliqued pieces. Lay it flat to dry and avoid wringing or high heat, which can distort the stitching.
