    An ornate menorah is depicted in the center of a blue Star of David with flowers. Six roundels feature prominent landmarks in and around Jerusalem, and 2 Hebrew texts are printed on either side of the star. The Hebrew line above the star translates to: “In honor of the Sabbath and the holidays”. The Hebrew line below the star quotes Psalm 137: “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, …”. Two words in the lower corners right and left indicate that the cloth was manufactured in the State of Israel (Medinath Israel). - A decorative border is cut off the top by the white fringe trim.
