Question
Hello, According to Halacha, is it necessary to have a specifically white tablecloth for the Shabbat table? If so, what is the allowance for using tablecloths of various colors, such as black, gold, etc., during festive Sabbaths? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
Halacha does not specify what color the tablecloth should be.
Therefore, there is no issue with using tablecloths of other colors.
