Abstract:
Located in Vancouver, BC, the Peretz Centre was founded in 1945 as the Peretz Shule. Its founders were a varied group that included "apolitical persons as well as Labour Zionists, Socialists and Communists, that shared a common goal of establishing a school which would provide children with a non-political, secular Jewish and Progressive education." Part of its mission is the preservation of the Yiddish language and culture.
