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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://peretz-centre.org/aboutus.html )〕 It is associated with Vancouver's Jewish left community. ==History== The Vancouver Peretz Institute, also known as the Vancouver Peretz Shule,〔 was founded in 1945 at 13th Avenue and Birch Street〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jewishmuseum.ca/node/320 )〕 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.〔 In 1959–1960 it had 118 children, but by 1971 its enrolment had dropped to below 50.〔 In 2001, a new building was constructed at the same location, and the name was changed to the "Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
