THE GOOD LIFE
Aliyah Continued from Page 27
NOT WHEN YOU consider he was a
5-year-old orphan in a foster home, find-
ing himself without a family at a time
people were just starting to recover from
the Great Depression.

Not when he survived that to join the
military, training men whose mission was
to go to Korea to fight in a war that was
never declared.

Not when he went on to live a normal
life and raise a family until his wife of
47 years, Eleanor, died in 2005.

Therefore, instead of looking back, he’s
looking ahead — only not too far.

After all, Berk is 87 but still going strong.

He’s believed to be among the oldest to
ever make aliyah, having moved to Israel in
late March. That enables him to be near his son,
Allen, and eight of his 15 grandchildren.

But that’s only partially why he did it.

The real reason is because he feels he
has a purpose in Israel. In Langhorne,
where he was spending time with Sheila
Weiss, whom he met after Eleanor’s death
while both were volunteering, that wasn’t

Project for Volunteers for Israel, Berk found
a way to not only keep himself occupied but
to do something meaningful.

Now his mission is to convince others
in the United States to join him.

“I decided to come here and help out,”
said Berk, who first got involved with
Sar-El more than a decade ago and had
visited for a few weeks regularly since then
before deciding to make it permanent.

“And they need a lot of help here.

“I pack medical supplies. Whenever
there’s a disaster in Haiti or Nepal or
