Hurricane Helene has caused significant disruption to Jewish communities in the southeastern United States just days before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Jewish organizations in South Carolina and North Carolina have been working to confirm the safety of community members and provide immediate assistance. Many areas are still without power, internet, and cell service, making communication and coordination difficult. Synagogues have been closed, and planned Rosh Hashanah meal deliveries have been canceled due to unsafe road conditions. Jewish organizations from nearby and farther afield are stepping up to organize relief efforts and provide support to those affected by the storm.
