The Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture is a centre for secular Jewish culture and humanistic Judaism in Vancouver, British Columbia. The stated purpose of the Peretz Centre is to "provide a quality alternative approach to Jewish life through the appreciation of Jewish history and culture in the context of world history, and the celebration of secular (non-religious) and humanist Jewish traditions." The Peretz Centre is affiliated with the International Federation of Secular Humanistic Jews, the Congress of Secular Jewish Organizations, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver.[1] It is associated with Vancouver's Jewish left community.[2] HistoryThe Vancouver Peretz Institute, also known as the Vancouver Peretz Shule,[1] was founded in 1945 at 13th Avenue and Birch Street[3] in response to the threat to Jewish culture and Yiddish language posed by the Holocaust and World War II. The centre was named after Isaac Leib Peretz, a prominent figure in Yiddish literature and culture.[1] In 1959–1960 it had 118 children, but by 1971 its enrolment had dropped to below 50.[2] In 2001, a new building was constructed at the same location, and the name was changed to the "Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture".[1] ProgramsThe Peretz Centre runs a two-year B'nai Mitzvah program, a coming-of-age ceremony for boys and girls, that focuses on learning about Jewish history and culture.[4] The centre also hosts the Vancouver Jewish Folk Choir, which performs Jewish songs in Yiddish, Hebrew, Ladino, and English.[5] In addition, the Peretz centre has Yiddish classes, senior programs, and Sunday School,[6] and regularly hosts secular versions of Jewish holidays.[7] It is also home to the Jewish Museum & Archives of British Columbia, Ahavat Olam Synagogue, Bravo Dance, Jewish Food Bank storage and distribution, Kol Halev Performance Ensemble, MOST/Bridge Russian Seniors, Outlook Magazine, and the Vancouver Jewish Film Festival.[8] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=History of the Peretz Centre|url=http://peretz-centre.org/aboutus.html|publisher=Peretz Centre for Secular Judaism|accessdate=10 September 2011}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|last=Elazar|first=Daniel J.|last2=Waller|first2=Harold M.|title=Maintaining Consensus: The Canadian Jewish Polity in the Postwar World|year=1990|publisher=University Press of America|pages=399, 401}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=First Peretz School Parent-Teacher Association, Vancouver|url=http://www.jewishmuseum.ca/node/320|publisher=Jewish Museum and Archives of British Columbia|accessdate=16 December 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=B'nai Mitsvah Program|url=http://peretz-centre.org/Bnai%20handbook.pdf|publisher=Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture|accessdate=10 September 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Vancouver Jewish Folk Choir|url=http://peretz-centre.org/choir.html|publisher=Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture|accessdate=10 September 2011}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Programs|url=http://peretz-centre.org/programs.html|publisher=Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture|accessdate=10 September 2011}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Rituals and Ceremonies|url=http://peretz-centre.org/rituals.htm|publisher=Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture|accessdate=10 September 2011}} 8. ^{{cite news|last=Wolak|first=Arthur|title=BC's Jewish Museum finds new home at Peretz Centre|url=http://www.jewishtribune.ca/TribuneV2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4197&Itemid=53|accessdate=19 October 2011|newspaper=Jewish Tribune|date=6 April 2011}} External links
