Intro

Bring warmth to your Shabbat table with a challah board built from strips of mixed woods set in a chevron rhombus pattern. The grain shifts from plank to plank, giving the surface a rich, layered look that catches the light differently across its length. The words Shabbat Shalom are etched into one corner, a quiet marker of the board's purpose. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Set out for Shabbat and Yom Tov, the board gives the challah a sturdy place at the center of the table. Made from mixed woods arranged in a chevron pattern, it measures 15.5 by 12 inches and about 0.5 inches thick. The oblong shape and flat surface suit one or two loaves comfortably, with enough length to rest a knife alongside.

Gift Ideas

The board's warm, patterned wood makes it a natural gift for a wedding, housewarming, or engagement. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah as well, or anyone furnishing a Jewish home for the first time. Its lasting materials make it a welcome gift for almost any occasion.

Care Instructions

Wipe the board clean with a damp cloth and dry it right away to protect the wood. Avoid soaking it or running it through the dishwasher, and rub in a food safe wood oil occasionally to keep the grain looking rich.
