Max was the oldest son of Chatzkel and Lena. He immigrated to the United States with his mother in 1894 from Russian Poland. He and Dora married in 1913, the year before his cousin, my grandmother, Flora Burak, married. Max and Dora had four boys: Morton, David, Leonard and Arnold.

Max worked as a plumber and owned his own business in New Haven, Connecticut. He and Dora owned their own home, where they often held family gatherings. They eventually retired to Miami, Florida, where they spent the rest of their days.
