Intro

Set the tone for Shabbat with a challah cover pieced from panels of maroon fabric, each one carrying its own silk embroidery of pomegranate branches, scattered seeds, or sprigs of leaves. A plain centre panel holds the embroidered Hebrew words, framed by the surrounding patchwork. Traditionally placed over the bread until it is uncovered for the blessing, the cover is a small, recurring piece of the table's routine. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Pieced together from a durable cotton and polyester blend, the cover joins multiple patchwork panels finished in silk embroidery. Each panel carries its own design, pomegranate branches, scattered seeds, or leaf sprigs, worked in tones of maroon around the plain embroidered centre. The cover measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to sit comfortably over a challah loaf or two.

Gift Ideas

The patchwork construction and rich maroon tones make this a natural gift for a wedding, engagement, or housewarming. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary equally well, or a gift for someone furnishing a new Jewish home. The detailed embroidery gives it lasting appeal as a gift for any occasion tied to the Shabbat table.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover gently or spot clean as needed to protect the silk embroidery. Lay it flat to dry and keep it away from direct heat and abrasive cleaners to preserve the colors and stitching.
