HIGH HOLIDAY

As the High Holidays approach, we find ourselves turning inward and reflecting on the higher ideals of our lives.

High Holiday torah covers often reflect that same intention of purification and renewed innocence by being designed as mostly white or ivory covers, with appliqued silver and gold elements. Sometimes jewel-toned designs are used on the white backgrounds. This creates creates a magnificent play of light, and makes a wonderful addition to the awesomeness of the holidays.

The designs are specifically related to the prayers and messages of the season. Some past design themes have included a variety of shofars, as well as depictions of specific holiday prayers.

I have started to use a new kind of fabric, which I feel is perfectly suited for use on high holiday, white covers. These fabrics are called “Performance (Crypton) Fabrics” They are durable, luxurious, 100% polyester upholstery fabrics that are resistant to stains, moisture, and odors. Spills bead up and wipe away easily. And, they can be cleaned with warm, mild soapy water.
