Made of elegant heavy brocade fabric, this challah cover is
designed with color over the whole surface.
With images of a wine decanter and Kiddush cup on one side and
candlesticks with lit candle on the other, each with sheaves of wheat in the
background, with a challah in the center. The Hebrew words “Likavod Shabbat
V’Yom Tov”, which means “In honor of Shabbat and Yom Tov”, are embroidered in
large gold colored letters.
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.
