Made of elegant navy blue velvet, this challah cover is
decorated with a larger frame and elegant background. The larger outer frame is
embroidered with exquisite scrollwork designs. In the center, a smaller frame,
with the identical style as the outer one, with the Hebrew words, “Shabbat
v’Yom Tov”, “Shabbat and Yom Tov”, embroidered in the center. A diagonal
stitching in each direction creates a diamond shaped background. The edges are
finished with silver thread arches.
This challah cover includes a plastic protective slipcover.
The challah cover is one of the few traditional and distinct
table setting items that characterizes a set Shabbat and Jewish holiday table.
The challah cover, as its name suggests, is used to cover the challahs while
the Kiddush is being recited. A special designed challah cover adds glory to
the Shabbat and holiday table.
