Fabric Collage Challah Cover, Blue and White

• 19.5" x 15.5"
• For Shabbat table
• Matches plata cover
• Designed by Yair Emanuel

Intro

Dress your Shabbat table with a challah cover built from patchwork panels of blue and white fabric. A band of deep teal crosses the center, embroidered in silk thread with the words Shabbat V'Yom Tov, framed by geometric diamond patterns on either side. The cover keeps the challah covered until the blessing over bread is made. 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 pieced in a fabric collage of patterned and solid panels, with silk thread embroidery across the central band. It measures 19.5 inches by 15.5 inches, sized to lie over a standard challah board or tray. The design is machine embroidered rather than done by hand, giving it a clean, consistent finish, and it is made to match Yair Emanuel's plata covers in the same collection.

Gift Ideas

The cover suits a housewarming gift for a couple setting up their first Shabbat table, and works just as well for a wedding, engagement, or bar or bat mitzvah. It also makes a fitting anniversary gift for anyone who keeps a weekly Shabbat practice. Paired with the matching plata cover, it rounds out a thoughtful set for a new Jewish home.

Care Instructions

Spot clean the cover with a damp cloth to lift stains without soaking the fabric. Avoid machine washing or wringing, and let it air dry fully before folding it away.
