Smart—This smooth ‘Flour Sack’ material is the fabric
preferred by chefs to cover rising dough. Square, oversized
cloth is designed to fit neatly over a large round bowl.
Food-safe, color-fast inks stand up to many washes.
Practical— This cloth has one clearly defined, designated
use. You can be sure that the cloth you use to cover
your Challah dough was never used to wipe counters or
floors.
Beautiful— Every week, the large bowl of rising dough
sits on the counter for an hour or more. Make it pleasing
to look at and at the same time reinforce the spirit
of L’Kovod Shabbos Kodesh.
A
challah cover is a special
cloth used to cover the two braided loaves (challah) set out on
the table at the beginning of a Shabbat or Yom Tov meal. While its
appearance lends a decorative and ceremonial aspect to the set table,
its presence serves both a halakhic and symbolic function.
Challah (also hallah plural: challot) (Hebrew: חלה)
also known as khale (eastern Yiddish),(German and western Yiddish),
berches (Swabian), barkis (Gothenburg), bergis (Stockholm), chałka
(Polish) and kitke (South Africa), is a special braided bread eaten
by Ashkenazi Jews and most Sephardic Jews, on the Sabbath and holidays.
