Shabbat & Challah Hats

Shabbat is the weekly Jewish day of rest, and the humor around it is as regular as the candles. The best-known joke is a pun on the bread: Challah Back is already listed as a Jewish gift on aprons and kitchen towels, and this collection puts that kind of line on a hat, next to the in-group humor you only get at the table. Two traditions get their own designs. Shabbat is explained in Jewish teaching as an acronym for "sleep on Shabbat is enjoyment," which is why the Shabbos nap is treated here as a point of observance. The kiddush club is the slang for the informal group of Jewish adults who slip out of Saturday-morning services, especially in Modern Orthodox synagogues, to make kiddush over wine or liquor and socialize. The rest cover braiding challah, the second loaf that becomes Saturday French toast, and a Friday night with the phone off and the brisket on. SHABBAT SHALOM and GOOD SHABBOS are the two badges, the greeting in its common forms. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one to Friday-night dinner, or give one to the friend who always brings the challah.
