Burt was born in Boston, the middle child of immigrants from Eastern Europe. He grew up in a loving family circle in the midst of a strong Jewish community.

At the time of his Bar Mitzvah, his Dad gave him a much desired gift--boxing gloves. Wanting to pursue fame and fortune, he started in Golden Gloves as a junior, went on to box in the United States Army and then turned professional. He had over 80 professional bouts when he finally "threw in the towel". . . but, not before his face was remodeled forever!

This discipline helped him when, in 1964, he surrendered his life to Yeshua, Israel's promised Messiah. Burt learned to fight the good fight of faith--not in the flesh with his fists but inspired by the abiding presence of G-d in his life. Rather than being a fighter, Burt became a lover and this marked his life until its end here on earth. He was a strong man of faith, zealous for others to discover the truth he had found, and always having a very tender heart to everyone around him.

Burt first lived in Israel from 1970-1972. He longed to find the "perfect" woman to be his wife. After returning to the United States, Burt met Pam in a meeting where there were thousands of people present but when he first saw her, the voice of G-d spoke clearly to him, "There's your wife." As he shared about his love for Yeshua and Israel, Pam realized that this was her destiny as well and he was, indeed, the one G-d had chosen for her.

For the next 29 years, Burt was a wonderful and loving husband. Since 1975, Israel has been their home. Like most Israeli men, he served nearly ten years in the IDF reserves. With Israel as their base, they also traveled extensively and visited more than 50 nations. G-d used them as a "Special Delivery" message, sharing His love "out of Zion" and "unto the ends of the earth"!

It was while they were on a trip to the States that Burt passed away suddenly, exactly four months before his 70th birthday. His earthly grave may be in Chicago, one of their "adopted" homes, but he lives on forever in the presence of the L-rd. Burt has realized the deepest longing and strongest desire of his heart, to be with The One he loved most Yeshua, His Messiah.
