Helen ‘Helsie’ Brustman
David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (13:39): Melbourne’s Jewish community has lost one of its greatest and most passionate advocates, Helen Brustman OAM, the beloved Helsie. Helsie was larger than life. Whether she was running or attending many of our community events, she would arrive in the biggest hats and the brightest outfits. She always made everybody feel welcome. May her memory be a blessing and may her extraordinary legacy of service continue to inspire all of us.
