Early and personal life

Lemkin was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel. His father is Israeli lawyer Shachar Lemkin, who also manages his football career. His mother Yana Lemkin is a designer and a social-volunteer in Israel, who hails from Soviet Ukraine before her immigration to Israel, although she still has some relatives who reside in Ukraine.
He also holds a Spanish passport, on account of his Sephardi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.
