Intro

Set your challah apart with a cover built for the Shabbat and Yom Tov table. Woven in linen with bands of black and gold, the center panel carries a silk thread embroidered inscription reading the words for Shabbat and Yom Tov. Clean and understated, the design brings a quiet elegance to the table without competing with it. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped 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 lettering a crisp, even finish. The linen-look fabric is banded in black with a golden trim framing the tan center panel. The cover measures 19.5 x 15.5 inches, sized to drape comfortably over a standard challah.

Gift Ideas

The cover makes a thoughtful wedding or housewarming gift, especially for a couple setting up their first Shabbat table. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary, and works well as a gift for anyone building a Jewish home. Its neutral, tailored palette makes it a fitting choice for a range of tastes.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover gently in cold water or dry clean to protect the embroidery. Lay it flat to dry and avoid wringing, and keep it away from direct heat and harsh detergents.
