Question
Is there any significance to having a white cloth on the table for Shabbat if I am traveling with my wife for Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There is no need to cover the table with a cloth if you are not at home.
Source
Eliyah Rabbah, Siman 262:3, quoting 'Minhagim' that during Sukkot there is no need to cover the tables at home with a cloth, as one resides only in the sukkah.
