A craft carried from Persia to India to Jerusalem — Zardozi, gold and silver hand-embroidery, its name Persian for gold and sewing. Reborn now in our New Delhi studio, in challah covers worked by hand for the modern Shabbat table.
Read the full story →Each design is drawn by hand in Jerusalem, inspired by antique ketubot, Torah mantles, and synagogue ornament. All motifs redrawn through the lens of Jewish symbolism. No two covers are identical.
Gold- and silver-finished metallic threads hand-stitched with traditional Zardozi needles in our New Delhi studio. Depending on the model, 40 to 130 hours per piece.
Pearls, crystal beads and hand-knotted fringe added individually in Jerusalem. Two countries, two cities, two sets of hands.
“These past years have taught us what it takes to stand for our country, and for who we are. For me, Malqeta is that same work in a quieter language — carrying our heritage, our tradition, and our culture forward, proudly and unapologetically.”
6 strands. Zero excuses. An easy, deeply satisfying challah from the Challah Prince — perfect for your Friday table. No stress. Just flow.
Woven with the scents of Persia — saffron steeped in rosewater, a breath of orange blossom water folded through the dough. Fragrant, golden, and quietly extraordinary.
The recipe that came with every Malqeta challah cover — a classic, golden, egg-enriched challah for the Shabbat table. Double the quantities to perform Hafrashat Challah.
The mitzvah of separating challah comes from Numbers 15 — upon entering the Land of Israel, the Jewish people were commanded to set aside the first portion of their dough as an offering to the Kohanim, the temple priests. That separated portion was called challah.
Today, though the Temple no longer stands, we preserve this sacred act. When we make challah, we separate a small piece of dough and recite a blessing. This ritual — hafrashat challah — is one of the three mitzvot traditionally associated with Jewish women, binding the act of baking to the life of the spirit.
Ten percent of every order goes to Hachnasat Kallah — helping brides in Israel stand under the chuppah and build Jewish homes.
