Question

A tablecloth woven with the words "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy". Is it permissible to place utensils on it/eat on it? And does it require genizah when it wears out?

Answer

Hello Rabbi

Since it is not written as a quote but as an 'expression', indicating that the tablecloth is intended for Shabbat, it does not have sanctity.

Therefore, it is permissible to eat on it and even to discard it when it wears out.
