In this work, we study helix spacelike and timelike surfaces in the Lorentzian Berger sphere \sε3, that is the three-dimensional sphere endowed with a 1-parameter family of Lorentzian metrics, obtained by deforming the round metric on \s3 along the fibers of the Hopf fibration \s3→ \s2(1/2) by -ε2. Our main result provides a characterization of the helix surfaces in \sε3 using the symmetries of the ambient space and a general helix in \sε3, with axis the infinitesimal generator of the Hopf fibers. Also, we construct some explicit examples of helix surfaces in \sε3.
