My name is Rinah Shalom. 
I was born and raised in Israel. My Jewish upbringing was nominal at best and my knowledge of YHVH ELOHIM was even less.  I became interested in learning more about my Jewish roots after coming to the U.S. in my mid twenties.  I started reading a little Torah (Bible), asking questions (from my "mostly" non Jewish friends), watching "religious" programs on T.V. and even going to "church" when I was invited.  The T.V. program that impacted me the most was the 700 club.  I would pray (and cry) as I listened to the many stories of how YHVH came into these people's lives and changed them, and I started longing for changes to take place in my life as well. To make a long story short... the greatest miracle  happened to me.  YHVH heard my "longings" (the prayers of my heart) and took me to be His "child" and so I stand until this day - His child and forever I am!  After this "born again/Salvation experience my life changed completely.  I can truely say that YHVH turned me "inside out".  He rearranged me, taught me, trained me and equipped me to do His Work, then "sent" me to His "fields" to bring in the harvest.  I believe that because of my Jewish upbringing, my knowledge of the Hebrew language and my love of Torah, I have a special unction to teach the Truth of the Old Testament "to the Jew first and also to the gentile;  for in it the righteousness of YHVH is revealed."  I've been the teacher and spiritual leader of The Hope Of Israel Ministries for the past six years and just in the last year I started sharing my teaching on the Internet.  I hope you enjoy YHVH's Word and grow closer to HIM as you "add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge."  (II Peter 1:5)
