A Hurricane Update from the JCCA
As Hurricane Irma ripped through Florida and northward, many JCC's were affected. The JCCA provided as many updates as possible with the state of each:
- Full to partial power with expectations of reopening (Levis JCC in Boca Raton, Rosen JCC in Orlando, Posnack JCC in Ft. Lauderdale, and Alper JCC in Miami)
- A mixed situation in West Palm Beach, where they expect to open the Boynton Beach building tomorrow, but not their building in Palm Beach Gardens, which still has no power
- No power yet, though hopes to opening soon (Savannah JCC, Charleston JCC, and Roth JCC in Orlando)
- No power and unsure when they can reopen (Atlanta and North Miami Beach)
- Status unknown, but in a relatively less affected area (Augusta JCC)
Please consider helping out our fellow JCCs as they assess and rebuild from both Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. Check out the donation pages below:
