The ''Humanistische Pressedienst'' ''(Humanist Press Service)'' describes him as:
<blockquote>
"The historian, political scientist and Judaic scholar is — coming from a Jewish family and himself circumcised — gets to minors in the context of the circumcision debate for the rejection of [[circumcision]]. Ingber, who lived about 35 years in [[Israel ]] and Palestine, belongs to the Jewish community; he knows [[circumcision]]s, he knows the Jewish tradition, the arguments of the tradition keepers and reform lines in Jewish history, he therefore knows (as opposed to circumcision advocates in German politics) exactly what he's talking about.
Michael Ingber has six grandsons, four of which are [[circumcised]], but two - because of the decision of Ingber, his 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?"''
