What goes on the Sukkos tabletop?

The sukkah table carries more than dishes: a Lucite esrog box, a standing tabletop Ushpizin plaque, a Sukkos challah cover, a napkin holder, and a silverware caddy with its Sukkos card. Each piece keeps an outdoor meal organized while dressing the table for Yom Tov.

What is a tabletop Ushpizin?

A tabletop Ushpizin is a freestanding plaque listing the seven Ushpizin welcomed into the sukkah each night. Standing at the center of the table, it serves as both the text for the nightly invitation and a centerpiece — available in classic, painted navy, painted by Batya, and Classic 2.0 designs.

Do I need a special challah cover for Sukkos?

Any challah cover is kosher for the mitzvah, but a Sukkos challah cover ties the table to the holiday the way themed covers do on Rosh Hashanah or Pesach. Since sukkah meals happen outdoors, a wipeable cover with some weight to it is the practical choice.

How do you keep napkins and benchers tidy in the sukkah?

A resin napkin holder keeps napkins from scattering in the breeze, and the bencher silverware caddy holds benchers upright through the meal. Both stay out on the sukkah table all week, so nothing needs resetting before each seuda.

Why set out guest towelettes on Sukkos?

Guests wash for hamotzi at every sukkah meal and Sukkos guest towelettes give them something more dignified than a shared kitchen towel. They're a small touch that guests really appreciate.

Will these tabletop pieces last for future years?

Yes — acrylic, resin, and leather construction is made for the outdoor conditions of a sukkah and stores compactly with your Yom Tov things. Most families bring out the same tabletop set every Tishrei, adding a piece or two as the collection grows.
