Ariel Frenkel parents Feliks Frenkel and Marina Frenkel came to the United States of America from Ukraine in the 1970s. Feliks and Marina are firm Jews.

Her Dad Feliks Frenkel

Ariel Frenkel father Feliks Frenkel is a successful businessman. Feliks came to the United States of America as a penniless 22-year-old immigrant in 1977.

However, before coming to the states, Feliks attended the University of Siberia ( Feliks changed the name of his alma mater because it sounded funny and he thought no one would notice) reports Wall Street Journal.

He returned to Kyiv after completing his studies in Siberia but would face discrimination due to his religion and join the massive resettlement of Jews to the US and arrive in Philadelphia.

Feliks worked as a truck loader, trash can collector, and windscreen washer among others immediately after his arrival. He accepted the offer from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School after applying to five colleges and started studying. He graduated from the organization with an Economics degree in 1980.

He found an opportunity to work for the legendary American trader Alan “Ace” Greenberg, which changed his life for good. Feliks now is the President Emeritus of COJECO. He is also known for his philanthropy.

However, recently Feliks made headlines after being skeptical about his daughter Ariel's appearance in The Bachelor. According to Parade, the reality television contestant revealed her father thought the contestants would need to involve in some kinky situation in the show while speaking with Zach. 

Her Mom Marina Frenkel

Ariel Frenkel mother Marina Frenkel accompanies Feliks in the charity events and gatherings. 

The family trio attended the UJA-Federation Of New York Russian Division Signature Event together on June 12, 2014, at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. 

Marina was also the co-donor of a $100,000 gift to National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene in 2015 while celebrating the theater's 100th anniversary. She also has an equal interest in philanthropy as her husband Feliks. 

However, unlike her husband, she does not reveal much about her personal life on the internet. Marina's profession remains unknown and she is also not found on social media under her name. She makes appearances on the web through her daughter's Instagram account.
