Challah cover depicting the night sky, with stars and moon embroidered in silver or gold thread on a soft and lush chenille fabric in the rich blue of an evening sky, with satin lining.
There are two text options: One is “כה יהיה זרעך” (“so shall be your descendants”), taken from the passage in parshat Lech Lecha (Book of Genesis, 15:5) where G-d takes Abraham outside to look up at the sky and tells him to try and count the stars, as his children will be as numerous as the stars in the sky.
The other is “הנה לא ינום ולא יישן”. This quote reminds us of the original meaning of the next words שומר ישראל - where “the One who watches over Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers” refers to G-d. But here it can also refer to so many people who spend long nights protecting others - doctors, nurses, soldiers, parents... A fitting gift for anyone who sacrifices sleep to take care of others.
The text can be either of these two passages as pictured, or customized with your own text, such as your family name.

Welcome to Beití
The Hebrew word beití has several meanings: 'my home', 'for the home', 'home-made'. Any of these translations are fitting for Beití Designs. The products are designed, created and packaged in my home, to be enjoyed in yours.
My focus is original designs, high quality and interesting fabrics, and a love for our eternal homeland. Personal connections are woven through the designs - memories of the day in 2016 when my sister took me down to the south of Israel to see the glorious kalanit fields are baked into the 'darom adom' designs. The 'duchening hands' towels are an embroidered reproduction of my father's hand formation when he does birchat kohanim. My daughter half-jokingly suggested putting pigeons on the Kotel challah cover, and I surprised myself by digitizing the cutest little pigeons I've ever seen.
When my friend Shira and I first came up with the concept of this business, we talked about using interesting, premium materials to bring my designs to life. I love the softness and heft of the chenille and the beautiful sheen of the woven linen in the challah cover fabrics, and am excited to share them with all of you.
I hope you enjoy my creations either as they are, or customized with your name or other text that speaks to you. Feel free to send a note if you'd like the words to be embroidered in a different color from a design than what's displayed in the sample, or if you have any other requests. I look forward to enhancing the beauty of your home, your Shabbat and holidays, or providing a gift to present to someone you care about.
From my home to yours, Sarah
