What transportation method are you looking to take?
Public transportation will take you around an hour, taxi should be 25-30 min and isn't cheap

How long do I need to clear the airport? Making the minyan is a priority so I would take the taxi route probably.

HEL yes.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

If it takes that quick and you land on time you should be good with the train as well.

I am looking for any suggestions of activities or ihg hotels in Helsinki.  There does not seem to be much written on this city.

Had the same issue. From what I gather its just a nice place nothing "must see". I read about day trips to Tallin Estonia and Visa free travel to St. Petersburg, Russia, both via ferry.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
