In 1934, following the rise of the Nazi party to power in Germany, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Jerusalem. He set up a photography lab in his home and made a living from invited photographs to various institutions, especially for Bezalel and the Hebrew University. Most of Bernheim's work focused on creating portraits and architectural photographs.
