Michael Ingber has six grandsons, four of which are circumcised, but two - because of the decision of Ingber daughter and her husband - are not. When this daughter's first son was not circumcised, Ingber was still of the opinion that how should a boy be a Jew when he was not circumcised; on the second grandson he could agree with his daughter fully, when she rejected [[circumcision]] after realizing: ''"How could I do this to my child as mother?"''
At the meeting of the Federal Men Forum in June 2013, Michael Ingber said about himself as someone who has radically changed his views on [[circumcision]] after thorough review and analysis (historical and religious aspects as well as the views of Maimonides): ''"In my life I have made a long way, from a very Jewish-ethnocentric position in my attitude or belief to what I would call a more open, universal belief. And I am still on my way ..."'' A way which - if you hear the statements of Michael Ingbers on other occasions as well - is oriented in the [[human rights ]] and not in formalisms and rituals."<ref>http://hpd.de/artikel/11514</ref>
