Baruch was born on December 31st 1943 to a Jewish family in Boston Massachusetts. His mother, younger brother and he immigrated to Israel in 1953, where he was converted to Christ while serving in the Army in 1963. He worked with Christian Witness to Israel from 1974 to 2005 and pastored Grace and Truth Christian Congregation in Israel from its founding in 1976 until the age of retirement at the end of 2008. He is presently engaged in a writing, teaching and preaching ministry in Israel and abroad. He and Bracha were married in 1968 and live in Gedera, Israel. They have three daughters, all married and presently living in the USA.
Baruch and Bracha joined Christian Witness to Israel in April 1974, upon his release from the Israeli army following the October (Day of Atonement) War. As of 1979 he served as CWI Israel Field Director. In the course of his work he translated (The God Who Is There, Knowing God, Genesis Three and many others) and edited over 50 books in Hebrew. He also wrote 61 theological papers, delivered in Germany, Britain and the USA, built up, educated and managed a staff of translators, graphic artists and editors which, with their administrative assistance, came to a total of 13 staff members.
Baruch was a member of the Editorial team for the translation of the NT into Hebrew and a contributor and member of the editorial team for the Annotated Hebrew NT. He initiated the formation of Mishkan – the International Theological Forum on Jewish Evangelism, and taught Homiletics and Christian Disciplines at the Israel College of the Bible.
