When setting your Shabbat table, it is considered noble to use your best tabletop items as it confers honor on the meal. The team at Karshi has created a challah board that will add a special touch of Israel to your table and your Shabbat meals.
This beautifully unique challah board is made from Acacia wood. (It was under an Acacia tree that the Jewish patriarch Abraham, known for his hospitality, erected his tent!) The challah board also features the word Shabbat written in Hebrew letters. The letters are made from laser-cut stainless steel.

Wood Shabbat Challah Board
Naftali Karshi established Karshi Judaica after he arrived in the fledgling State of Israel in 1955. When Naftali arrived, he settled in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Mamilla in front of the Old City walls. Mamilla was a dangerous neighborhood at that time as it was right next to the border controlled by Jordan!
Naftali began studying goldsmithing in Jerusalem and the exceptional craftsmanship needed to make his beautiful Judaica. His small business developed a reputation for the highest quality handmade items. Naftali drew his inspiration from the Land of Israel and his family’s strong ties to their Jewish faith.
Today the business is under the leadership of his son Uziel. After school, Uziel would spend his afternoons with his father watching and learning Naftali’s metalworking secrets and artistic style.
Uziel and his team continue to make unique Judaica in the tradition of Naftali; each piece from concept to creation is made with love, care, and concern.
