Michel Nisenbaum is a 59-year-old resident of Sderot, a city in Israel. He has been missing since the Hamas attack on October 7. Michel is a divorced father of two daughters and holds dual Israeli-Brazilian nationality. He has been living in Sderot for the past seven years.

Michel encountered terrorists in the area of Kibbutz Mefalsim on the morning of the mass assault, and since then, he has not been heard from.

Michel Nisenbaum is described as someone who fell in love with the land and people of Israel when he immigrated as a teen. He is an active individual known in the southern region for his involvement in various endeavors, including being a guide on the Salad Trail, an ambulance driver for United Hatzalah emergency services, and recently completing a tour guide course to work with visitors in the South.
