Bimah Covers

Torah Scroll is laid on a "mappah," or desk-cover, or Bimah Cover when placed on the almemar for reading. The Bimah Cover is used to protect and visually adorn the most sacred object of all – the Torah itself. For this reason Bimah Covers are usually made of thick velvet with a rich and regal embroidery, the topic of which may be an excerpt or quotation of the Book, as well as dedications and commemorations of the individual who commissioned the Torah Scroll.
We at www.kaftorvaferach.com believe that the Bimah Cover should be a visual counterpart to the spiritual splendor which is the Torah. The embroidery on the velvet, whether regular or hand made, is invariably of the highest quality, making our Bimah Covers an aesthetic treat worthy of the Book. Different designs both customized and existing, modern or traditional are available. All of our Bimah Covers are made in Jerusalem by various gifted artists with exquisite taste.
The Torah scroll adorned with our Bimah Cover will be a great beautification of your synagogue. The Bimah Covers we offer are a gem of distinct taste, a visual counterpart to the spiritual splendor which is the Torah, a garment worthy of the Book. Feast your eyes and impress your congregation with our quality Bimah Covers. We would be happy to accommodate you with a variety of ready designs for the embroidery, or let you customize your own design. In either case we are certain the Bimah Cover of your choice will enrich the service greatly.
