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.
 
At the beginning of a Shabbat or holiday meal, a blessing must first be made over the wine (Kiddush) in order to the sanctify the Shabbat.[1] This is followed by the blessing over the bread (challah), which begins the meal. However, in the hierarchy of blessings mandated by the Sages,[2] the blessing over bread should precede the blessing over wine. In order to preserve the priority of the wine, and not to "shame" the bread which should be blessed first,[3] the bread is "removed" by concealing it from view with the challah cover.
Challah covers are typically decorative in fabric and design. They may be made from velvet, silk, leather, paper, etc., and can be hand- or machine-embroidered, painted, appliqued, tie-dyed, and the like. They are sometimes adorned with fringes that may be interwoven with silver or gold thread.
The challah cover must be large enough to cover two braided loaves without allowing the bread to be seen through the sides, and opaque enough so that the loaves cannot be seen through the fabric. Extra-large challah covers are often chosen as a prominent centerpiece for large Shabbat tables.Store-bought challah covers often bear the logo,"To honor the holy Shabbat"or To honor Shabbat and Yom Tov. Some are made especially for use on Rosh Hashana and Sukkot, decorated with appropriate holiday motifs. When purchased as a gift, such as for a newlywed Jewish couple, challah covers are often embroidered with the family name of the recipient.Store-bought challah covers often bear the logo To honor the holy Shabbat or to honor Shabbat and Yom Tov.
