Made of elegant designed heavy brocade fabric, 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.
