Berl is a old traditional Jewish farmer; his wife is Berlcha. They live during the 1800's in the village of Lentshin. The couple owns a small farm, which only produces enough profit them to live a good, no frill existence.

Berlcha and Berl keep the money their son sends them every month under the bed; they save every penny. Their reason for not spending the money....... they tell Samuel they didn't it.

As far as religion and tradtion, they are Jewish; they respect the Sabbath and attend the synagogue.
