Meet Beth & Daniel
The Heart Behind
We Be Shabbatin’
A husband and wife, a story still being written, and one simple hope: to help others begin walking in the light of His Word.
Read our story
There’s a real story behind this little shop.
Hi, I’m Beth. And that handsome fellow in the photo is my husband, Daniel.
If you’ve found your way to We Be Shabbatin’, I want you to know there are real people, real prayers, and a whole lot of learning behind the things you see here. I’m not standing on the other side of the screen with everything figured out. I’m walking, studying, growing, and hoping to encourage someone else to begin.
It began with a small yes.
A little over a year ago, I opened an Etsy shop. At first, it was something I was trying out — a creative challenge, a chance to learn, and honestly, a lot of fun. I sensed the Holy Spirit leading me, but I had no idea how much would come from that beginning.
As I kept creating, I began to sense that YHWH was speaking to my heart through the work itself.
Then, this past summer, while I was finishing my book One Yes, A Thousand Ladders, that prompting became stronger. I felt called to expand what I was doing — not simply to make more products, but to make more room for teaching, encouragement, and the kind of resources that help someone take a first step.
Through the writing of that book, I began to see that we can bring forth more than children. We can also bring forth words, ideas, acts of service, and work that bears fruit in other people’s lives.
“My prayer is that I won’t leave this world without having sown something of Him that can keep growing long after I’m gone.”— Beth
Sometimes one voice changes everything.
When I was in fifth grade, a teacher told me I would become a wonderful writer — that I would write books that touched people. No one else had ever spoken that over me quite like she did.
She may not have known what those words would mean, but I carried them for years. Later, when I finally found the courage to write, I reached back to what that teacher had planted in me.
It was such a simple thing: someone saw possibility in a little girl and said it out loud. Yet the impact reached far beyond that classroom.
That’s how I think about the work here. A book, a note of encouragement, a resource shared with a friend, or one conversation around the Shabbat table might reach much farther than any of us will ever see.
You just never know what a small seed of faithfulness may become.
Helping people begin.
Even my name, Beth Dawn, has become meaningful to me in this season. Beth carries the idea of a house, and dawn brings to mind the first light of morning. I’ve come to see a personal picture in that pairing: making room for His Word in our homes and helping others take that first step toward the light.
When our family began learning more about Shabbat and YHWH’s appointed times, I learned that beginnings don’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. Sometimes you need a place to start, someone willing to walk beside you, and the courage for one yes.
That’s what I hope you find here: not pressure to know everything already, but thoughtful ways to learn, remember, and grow in the Word.
Tangible things. Eternal conversations.
My hope is that the tangible things become doorways to the spiritual.
A children’s book might begin a conversation about a biblical feast. A Shabbat guide might help a family gather around the table for the very first time. A gift or piece of home décor might remind someone to carry Yeshua’s light and peace into the places they live.
I want these resources to do more than brighten one moment. I pray they encourage people, make Scripture feel approachable, and carry truth and love into generations I may never meet.
Our part in the story
Daniel is my husband, my spiritual covering, and one of my greatest encouragers. We pray, talk through the spiritual direction of this work, and make important decisions together.
I’m the one handling most of the day-to-day work — studying, writing, dreaming up new resources, creating designs, managing the shop, and caring for the people who order from us.
Different roles, shared purpose, and a whole lot of grace as we continue to learn.
We aren’t asking you to have it all figured out before you start.
Begin where you are.Take one faithful step.
Who makes our products?
Since you're inviting our work into your home, you deserve to know how it comes together.
The heart & the ideas
The themes, teaching questions, book concepts, and designs grow out of what I’m studying, learning, praying through, and hoping to share. I choose the direction and carefully review what we publish.
The creative tools
Yes, I use modern creative tools, including AI, to help with illustrations, design concepts, mockups, organizing ideas, and writing. Some product and lifestyle images are digital mockups rather than photographs. I won’t pretend everything is hand-drawn or made without technology.
The making & shipping
Many physical products are made to order by professional print and fulfillment partners, who produce and ship them. We also offer digital resources delivered electronically. I’m here behind the shop to answer questions and help if something isn't right.
A real person. Honest creative tools. Professional production partners. And care for the people on the other side of every order.
From our table to yours,
Shalom.
Whether you came for a gift, a children’s book, or a little encouragement to begin honoring Shabbat, we’re glad you found us. May what you discover here point you back to the Word and toward the One who is the Light of the world.
With love,
Beth & Daniel
