Made of elegant navy blue velvet, this challah cover is
uniquely designed with a maze of baroque styled lines. The lines decorate most
of challah cover, but in the center, where there is an oval shaped clearing
with the Hebrew words “Shabbat Kodesh”, the holy Shabbat, with an image of a
kiddush kup and green grape leaves. The edge of the challah cover is bordered
by an elegant rope trimming.
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.
