Intro

Set the tone for your Shabbat table with a woven challah cover in light and dark brown. A central band, embroidered in silk thread, carries the words "Shabbat Kodesh" flanked by simple floral motifs. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Placed over the challah at the start of the Shabbat meal, the cover is woven from a cotton and polyester blend, with the central band embroidered in silk thread rather than by hand. It measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches, sized to comfortably drape over a standard loaf or two. The weave alternates light and dark brown, giving the cover texture without heavy pattern.

Gift Ideas

The understated tone and clean design make this cover a fitting gift for a housewarming, a wedding, or an engagement. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah gift as well, or a gift for a couple furnishing their first Jewish home. Its neutral palette also makes it a welcome addition to any Shabbat table, gift or otherwise.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the cover gently in cool water and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or harsh detergents so the weave and the embroidered band keep their shape.
