Why Do We Cover the Challah Bread on the Shabbat Table?
When our ancestors traveled in the desert for forty years, they subsisted on the manna that miraculously fell from heaven every day. The challah we eat on Shabbat is actually in place of that manna. Since the manna was encased between layers of dew that preserved its freshness,1 we envelop the challahs between the tablecloth (or cutting board) and the challah cover, reliving the manna miracle at our Shabbat meal.
(Actually, on Shabbat the manna did not fall. Rather, a double portion fell on Friday—one portion for that day, and another for the day of rest that followed.)

Machine washable at 30 degrees/medium to hot iron.

Please take care when ironing the embroidery.The thread is metalic . Best to iron on the left side or put a cotton fabric between the iron and the embroidery.
