One iconic High Holiday item that you can't have a Rosh Hashanah dinner without is a round challah to represent the "head" of the new year - so you'll also need a challah cover for it! Designed by Yair Emanuel in his Jerusalem studio, this simple-yet-stunning challah cover is made out of elegant raw silk and features a vibrant pomegranate motif, bringing a pop of color and symbolism to your holiday table.

6. Round Rosh Hashanah Seder Plate (Choice of Colors)
