Intro

Bring color to your Shabbat table with a challah cover built from a patchwork of jewel toned velvet squares. An organza center panel holds the blessing, embroidered in silk thread, and is framed by a silver braid trim that sets off the surrounding patchwork. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has graced Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made from a cotton and polyester blend, the cover is embroidered, not hand embroidered, in silk thread across its organza center panel. The patchwork velvet border surrounds the panel and is finished with a silver braid trim. The cover measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to rest over a standard challah for Shabbat and Yom Tov.

Gift Ideas

The rich color and craftsmanship make this challah cover a fitting wedding, engagement, or housewarming gift. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary, or anyone setting up their own Jewish home for the first time. Its warmth makes it a welcome gift even outside those occasions.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover gently or dry clean to protect the velvet and embroidery. Avoid wringing or harsh detergents, and lay flat to dry, keeping it away from direct heat.
