Michael was born in Minsk, Belorus, but grew up in Germany. He speaks Russian, German, English and Hebrew. Michael came to Israel in 2007 as a tourist, but in Jerusalem he found his way back to the faith of his forefathers and decided to stay in the Promised Land.

Michael writes and coordinates for the German edition of Israel Today’s magazine since 2009.
