CHALLAH COVER FOR SHABBAT

Shabbat is such a special holiday; we want to do everything we can to make it beautiful and pleasing. In Hebrew, this is called Hiddur Mitzvah — enhancing a mitzvah. Everything from tidying up our home to cooking a delicious meal to setting out a fresh bouquet of flowers makes Shabbat extraordinary. One way you can make Shabbat simply magnificent is to make your own challah cover. Use lots of colors and draw whatever designs you like. Make sure you write your name and the year, too — you will surely cherish it (and use it!) for many years to come, and you’ll want to know when you made it!
