Beautify your Shabbat dining room table with a stunning 100% cotton tablecloth from Cafe RonEl. The tablecloth features a biblically inspired motif of olives from the Holy Land. It is the perfect way to bring a touch of Israel into your home!
The tablecloth is made from 100% heavy-weight white cotton. The tablecloth features a border of solid sage green and a beautifully rendered parallel design of olives from the Holy Land. The center of the cloth burst joyfully with small olive branches with their sacred fruit.
Olive trees are one of the Seven Species of the Holy Land described in Deuteronomy 8:8. “a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil, and honey.”
The tablecloth is carefully stitched with fully finished corners, ensuring a beautifully pleasing drape.
RonEl and Yosef designed the tablecloth to be used for Shabbat and festivals as a way for those who love Israel to bring a touch of the Holy Land into their homes on these special occasions.
The Olive Branch tablecloth makes a meaningful gift for friends and loved ones. It is perfect for weddings, birthdays, and housewarming celebrations.
You can complete the Olive Branch table dressing with companion napkins, and challah covers for the most elegant table. (Sold separately)
To care for your First Fruits tablecloth, treat stains with pre-wash and launder in cold water with fabric softener. Hang to dry and cool iron if needed.

Olive Branch tablecloths
Cafe RonEl is the go-to restaurant in southern Judea. It is located in the small Jewish community of Mitzpeh Yair. Cafe RonEl is owned and operated by the Barak family, who fulfilled their wish to be part of rebuilding the Jewish homeland when they moved from South Africa to Israel in 2014.
Yosef Barak and his wife RonEl, after whom the restaurant is named, were enchanted by the beauty of Mitzpeh Yair and its breathtaking views of the Judean Desert. They were inspired by the hospitality of the Jewish patriarch Abraham and his wife Sarah and immediately began the hard work of restoring their farm with a view to hosting guests for meals and refreshments.
Their modest dream turned into a much-loved dairy restaurant and, a few years later, an additional meat kitchen. Cafe RonEl is a welcome oasis in the Judea Desert where locals visit for community and the Barak’s legendary Friday brunch!
Yosef, with his son Yehuda, his daughters Hadassah and Avigail, and daughter-in-law Tohar, has planted olive trees, flowering bougainvillea, and fragrant Israeli lavender, turning their home into a welcome center of hospitality for the region.
They have created a space for local musicians to perform on Thursday nights, and at the opening of each Jewish month, they invite community members to share their wares and creations at the restaurant.
Their passion for sharing the beauty of the Holy Land with others led them to open their farm to adventurous tourists and youth with affordable camping.
RonEl, with the encouragement of her husband, extended her creativity to create a stunning tabletop collection inspired by the beauty of Shabbat. It is RonEl’s wish that all the nations have an opportunity to learn about the traditions of Shabbat.
