<DIV>I know that some people say it's OK but to me it seems that a see-through
cover would be like a woman wearing a see-through dress. It's not
"covered" in any meaningful sense if you can still see it. What is it that
"embarrasses" the challah when you make kiddush right in front of it? IF
the challah feels chilly and just wants to be cozy and warm, then a plastic
cover will accomplish that. But if the challah wants people to not ignore
it when they see it, then a see-through plastic bag is the same as no
cover. </DIV>
