Made of elegant heavy brocade fabric, this challah cover boasts
an elegant circle, comprised of four separate sections of gold and silver
colored stars and flowers. In the center an image of a candelabra with lit
candles and the Hebrew words “Likavod Shabbat V’Yom Tov”, which means “In honor
of Shabbat and Yom Tov”, are embroidered on top, in a semi-circle with gold
colored letters. The edges are finished with twisted tassels.
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.
