Intro

Bring a natural, rustic touch to your Shabbat table with this oblong challah board, its live edge and bark left uncut along the sides. A challah board holds and presents the bread at the start of the Shabbat meal, and this one is engraved with the words Shabbat V'Yom Tov across its grain. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Cut from acacia wood, the board carries a live edge with the bark left intact along both sides for a raw, organic look. A recessed metal salt dish is set into the surface, ready alongside the challah at the start of the meal. The board measures 15.5 x 12 x 2 inches, wide enough for a full loaf with room to spare.

Gift Ideas

The natural grain and engraved blessing make this board a fitting gift for a wedding, housewarming, or engagement. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah gift as well, or anyone setting up a Jewish home for the first time. Its rustic character also makes it a warm choice for any occasion where a handmade touch matters.

Care Instructions

Wipe the board clean with a damp cloth and dry it right away, avoiding soaking or the dishwasher. An occasional rub with food safe mineral oil keeps the acacia wood from drying out.
