Biography
Pearl Berg was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA on 14 February 1910. She moved to Los Angeles with her family in 1930. She became a member of Temple Israel in 1937 and continues to attend occasional services at the synagogue, usually during the High Holy Days. After Berg’s husband died in 1989, she carved out an active social life for herself by joining a book club, regularly attending concerts and plays and becoming more involved with a bridge group. She was active in Temple Israel’s Sisterhood and was asked to write notes to bereaved families on behalf of the temple, which she continued to do until the age of 105.
