Shabbat, also known as the Sabbath, is the weekly day of rest in the Jewish calendar, celebrated from sundown on Friday until nightfall on Saturday. It comes with many beautiful traditions, one of which is making a special bracha (blessing) over the challah bread. Before blessing the challah, we first bless wine or grape juice, and during that moment, the challah is covered so as not to “embarrass the bread,” which is blessed second. This meaningful custom has been cherished for generations and continues to be observed in Jewish homes worldwide.
Our challah covers feature the Hebrew words 'שבת קודש', making them a beautiful way to enhance your Shabbat table or to give as a thoughtful gift. Whether you’re hosting a festive meal or surprising a loved one, this challah cover will bring elegance and tradition to the occasion.
