Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture
Dedicated to ensuring the continuity of
secular Jewish culture and humanist thought

We 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.

We welcome intercultural families (mixed marriages) and anyone who feels a connection with Jewish culture, history and experience.
