This beautiful and colorful challah cover from the Gallery
Alexander collection is made from terylene fabric. The challah cover is
decorated with images of a challah bread, kiddush cup, wine decanter and grape
cluster, all in bold color. The Hebrew words “Likavod Shabbat V’Yom Tov”, which
means “In honor of Shabbat and Yom Tov”, are embroidered in a semi-circle above
the images.
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.
