Beryllium chloride is a strongly ionic compound, and it therefore polar by definition, since it consists of a beryllium cation and two chloride anions. It is therefore a salt, and will readily dissolve in water, which is also polar.

Yes, the bond between beryllium and chlorine is polar. However, since the two bonds of this molecule are to the opposite directions, their vector addition becomes zero. Therefore there is no polarity in the overall molecule.
