Baruch Dayan HaEmet. It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of Alyce Helfman, our congregant and Rabbi Jordan Helfman’s mother. During times of sadness, we come together as a community to support each other and the Helfman family, even if from afar. To send condolences to the family in the US and the UK, you may leave a comment here or write to Rabbi Helfman directly at [email protected].

The funeral will take place in Detroit on Tuesday, August 30 at 12:00pm EDT and can be streamed here.

Details for Tzedakah in Alyce’s memory may be found here.

Alyce and Dennis came to Holy Blossom often to join Rabbi Helfman, Jemma, Toby, Molly, Henriette and Dov for Shabbat and Holy Days. During the pandemic, they were active in lifelong learning programs and maintained their many friendships at Holy Blossom. We will remember Alyce’s shem tov before Kaddish each day throughout shloshim.

Zichrona livrachah. May her memory be for a blessing.
