Late Actress Tal Berkovich's Final Role Airs in New Drama

Actress and former model Tal Berkovich, who tragically died in a car accident nearly a year ago at age 41, will be posthumously featured in the new Keshet 12 drama series "HaBricha" (The Escape). Berkovich filmed a role in the series before her death, playing the wife of a Chabad emissary in Colombia.

The series "HaBricha" centers on Yoel Har-Tzion (Ido Tako), a young man who attempts to flee a fictional cult called "Malchut Shamayim" (Kingdom of Heaven) in the Colombian jungle with his family. When his escape becomes complicated, he is forced to flee alone and seeks help from a former security official (Yehuda Levi) to rescue his wife and son.

Berkovich's character hosts Yoel after his escape. The episode featuring her will be dedicated to her memory and airs tonight. Berkovich was born in Kiryat Tivon and danced with the Israeli Ballet and the Bat Dor Dance Company. She later moved to London for a modeling career and participated in "Dancing with the Stars" in Romania in 2015. She also appeared in productions in the US and UK and the Israeli film "Don't Forget About Me."

In recent years, Berkovich adopted a religious lifestyle and married Isaac, a Haredi businessman, in 2020. She was born in Israel and had returned for a visit when she died in a road accident on Route 40 in January.
