- About Us -

Background:

The Refiner's Fire is comprised of an international network of ordained Hebraic Faith rabbis, teachers and authors offering no-nonsense Biblical answers. The website was the brainchild of Shali bat Yehudit, a Jewish-born journalist and Believer in Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) who got the idea in 2001 when a traditional Jewish friend attempted to introduce her to several Jewish "anti-missionary" websites for "conversion" back to Judaism. When Shali became aware of the type of hateful "anti-Jesus" rhetoric espoused on sites such as Outreach Judaism, Jews for Judaism, and the Messiah Truth Project, she decided to build an anti-anti-missionary apologetics website in order to counter the above sites and provide people a chance to become fully informed about God's Word before making up their minds as to what they choose to believe.

Once the emails started coming in from around the world, The Refiner's Fire quickly expanded into challenging ANYONE who is against Yeshua or the Bible, and ultimately became a website that is designed to reveal the truth of Yeshua HaMashiach to traditional Jews, Torah to Christians, and Biblical Truth to the whole world from a "Hebrew", rather than a "Greek" mindset. Since the creation of The Refiner's Fire, God has seen fit to bless us with several valuable, like-minded brothers in Messiah to assist us in our mission, and to whom we can be held accountable.
