Shabbat, also known as the Sabbath, is the weekly day of rest in the Jewish calendar, observed from Friday evening at sundown until Saturday evening at nightfall. It is filled with cherished traditions, one of which is making a bracha (blessing) over the challah bread.
Before blessing the challah, we first bless wine or grape juice. During that blessing, the challah is covered so as not to “embarrass the bread,” which is blessed second. This beautiful custom has been passed down through generations and continues to grace Shabbat tables worldwide.
Our challah covers feature the Hebrew words 'שבת קודש', making them a meaningful addition to your Shabbat table or a thoughtful gift for family and friends. Whether for your own home or as a special present, this piece combines tradition with beauty.
