As the damage of Hurricane Florence continues to accrue, we are checking in with affected congregations and updating our URJ community as to their needs.

Please consider helping in the following ways, which will best serve those impacted by providing basic living essentials and relocation/emergency aid as the region begins to recover.

As the storm waters from Hurricane Irma recede, the full extent of her impact is becoming more and more apparent. 

As this week comes to a close and we prepare to welcome Shabbat, we’d like to share an update on the Reform Movement’s work in responding to Hurricane Harvey. 

We are now starting to get accurate reports of the damage – and they are staggering. Building on our initial response, here are a few new developments and details.

As a trained professional first responder, I’ve been taught how to deal with potentially impending crisis – and I’ve been through many of them. The URJ helped me through this one.

I’m grateful this community has welcomed us and allowed us to do our part to aid them, and I’m counting on the support of our entire community to help get the Baton Rouge area back on its feet. Want to help?
