Intro

Set the tone for Shabbat with a challah cover built around an ivory organza panel and an embroidered blessing at its center. A patchwork border of rich velvet squares surrounds the panel, finished with a silver braid trim along every edge. The multicolor patchwork brings warmth and variety to the table without pulling focus from the blessing itself. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Placed over the challah at the start of the Shabbat or Yom Tov meal, the cover combines an organza center panel with a surrounding velvet patchwork border. The blessing is machine embroidered onto the organza, while the velvet squares are pieced together and finished with a silver metallic braid trim. The cover measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to fit a standard challah board or platter.

Gift Ideas

The rich color palette and detailed border make this a fitting gift for a housewarming, a wedding, or an engagement. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah gift, or an anniversary present for a couple who keeps a traditional Shabbat table. Anyone furnishing a Jewish home will find it a welcome, lasting addition to their table settings.

Care Instructions

Spot clean the cover with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, since the velvet and organza call for gentle handling. Keep it away from direct heat and store it flat or loosely folded to protect the braid trim and embroidery.
