Mickey Burstein and his wife Robin are active members of Congregation Har Shalom in Potomac, Maryland, for about 30 years. Mickey enjoys leading services, reading Torah, and reading the Megillah on Purim, in costume. When the Chevra Kaddisha calls, he is always willing to help the bereaved in whatever capacity is needed. Annually, he devotes countless hours to rehearsals for the musical productions of the Har Shalom Players.  

 

For Men’s Club, Mickey has served as V.P. of Religious Affairs. He has chaired Men’s Club Shabbat and the Worldwide Wrap on numerous occasions, and he enjoys teaching both kids and adults how to put on tefillin. Every year he lends 2 hands, a strong back, and a lot of height to the Men’s Club in building Har Shalom’s sukkah.

 

After a brief stint working for the federal government, Mickey has spent the past 41 years as a personal injury attorney in private practice in Rockville, MD. Mickey and Robin have 4 daughters and 3 grandchildren from Gaithersburg to Chicago to Phoenix.
