This gorgeous challah cover will add a touch of color and distinction to your Sabbath table! The symbols of the 12 tribes of Israel are beautifully stylized here, and above them are the words Shabbat and Yachad Shivtei Yisrael (the tribes of Israel are together) in Hebrew. The motifs are outlined in gold or black and hand-painted on silk with unique colors using a brush. The fabric undergoes a fixation process to make it color-fast. This will be a treasured centerpiece in anyone's Sabbath home!
Artist Yair Emanuel, a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, lives and works in Jerusalem. Vivid and harmonious colors as well as a mixture of the old and the new characterize Emanuel's work, which is designed and crafted in his Jerusalem studio. The principal techniques utilized encompass painting on silk, hand-embroidery, raw-silk applique and painting on wood.
