This hand-woven challah cover is part of the exclusive
sterling silver challah cover collection. The challah cover, which includes
sterling silver thread to emphasize its glamor, is woven and embroidered to a
rectangular shape on elegant heavy brocade fabric. The middle frame has a quilted
effect with small flowers set in a pattern. In the center rectangle, there are
two candlesticks with lit candles and two challahs with a crown above them. The
Hebrew words “L’kavod Shabbat V’Yom Tov”, which means “In honor of Shabbat and
Yom Tov” are arranged above the Shabbat icons. The edges are finished with
silver arches.
This challah cover includes a protective zippered plastic
slipcase.
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.
