Max Helfman (1901—1963) was born in Radzyn, Poland, and immigrated with his family to New York in 1909. He ultimately received a three-year fellowship to the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. From 1944 to 1961, he served as head of the music department at the Brandeis Arts Institute in Santa Susana, California. Helfman’s works include Israeli folk melodies, sacred choral compositions, secular vocal music, preludes for organ, a violin sonata, chamber music, ballet music, and song arrangements. Helfman’s Friday evening service, Shabbat Kodesh (1942), is considered his most successful and enduring liturgical work.
