Made of elegant navy blue velvet, this challah cover is
decorated with a large frame embroidered with large magnificent scrollwork
designs. The larger outer frame is embroidered with exquisite scrollwork
designs. In the center, the Hebrew words, “Shabbat v’Yom Tov”, “Shabbat and Yom
Tov”, are 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.
