Haim Averbuch was born in Paris in 1948 and immigrated to Israel in 1949. After completing military service, he spent thirteen years doing business in Austria before returning to Israel,
where he married and has four children. Once, during his many trips abroad, he happened to purchase a book, The Initiate, which changed his life and outlook. His subsequent process of learning and studying about God, the creation of the universe, and other universal questions led to this book.
