Made of elegant heavy brocade fabric, this challah cover
symbolizes the royalty of the holy day of Shabbat. In the center of the challah cover, a
beautiful Shabbat table with images of candlesticks and challah bread, wine
decanter and a kiddush cup are embroidered. Surrounding the table there are
four artistically inspired beams. The top has a golden drape supported on rods
hanging down. The Hebrew words “Likavod Shabbat V’Yom Tov”, which means “In
honor of Shabbat and Yom Tov”, are embroidered across the bottom of the design.
The edges of the challah cover are bordered with elegant gold 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.
