Intro

Set the tone for Friday night with a challah cover woven in warm maroon and gold patchwork. At its center, a silk embroidered panel carries a pair of doves and the traditional Shabbat blessing text, framed by an intricate border. The dove motif speaks to peace and harmony at the table. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made from a cotton and polyester blend, the cover is embroidered in silk thread rather than by hand, giving the birds and lettering a crisp, detailed finish. The patchwork panels of maroon and gold surround the central embroidered piece, and the cover measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to drape over a full challah loaf. It pairs with a matching plata cover for a coordinated Shabbat table.

Gift Ideas

The rich color and detailed embroidery make this a fitting gift for a wedding, housewarming, or engagement. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah as well, or anyone setting up a Jewish home for the first time. Its coordinated look with the plata cover also makes it a natural pairing gift for a couple building their Shabbat table together.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently or dry clean to protect the silk embroidery, and avoid soaking the fabric. Lay flat to dry and keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant maroon and gold tones.
