Actress and former model Tal Berkovich, who tragically died in a road accident nearly a year ago at the age of 41, will appear posthumously in the new drama series "Ha'Bricha" (The Escape) on Israel's Channel 12. Berkovich filmed a role in the series before her death, portraying the wife of a Chabad emissary in Colombia.

The series centers on Yoel Har-Tzion (Ido Tako), a young man who flees a fictional cult called "Malchut Shamayim" (Kingdom of Heaven) in the Colombian jungle with his family. When complications arise, he is forced to escape 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.

Berkovich, born in Kiryat Tivon, had a diverse career that included dancing with the Israeli Ballet and the Bat Dor Dance Company. She later moved to London for modeling and participated in "Dancing with the Stars" in Romania in 2011. She also acted in television productions in the US and UK and appeared in the Israeli film "Don't Forget About Me." In recent years, she adopted a religious lifestyle and married Isaac, a Haredi businessman.

The episode featuring Berkovich is scheduled to air tonight and will be dedicated to her memory. The article notes that she had also participated in the Romanian version of "MasterChef Games" about a year ago.
