About Us...
Hancock Shaker Village, the Shaker "City of Peace," brings the Shaker story to life and preserves it for future generations. The Village portrays principled living, as embodied in the faith-based values the Shakers embraced -- equality, community, sustainability and responsible stewardship of their resources -- values that resonate today.
Congregation Knesset Israel is a warm and welcoming egalitarian synagogue community serving the entire Berkshire region. K.I. is committed to participatory prayer, life-long Jewish learning, "Tikkun Olam" (Repairing the World), and sharing the joys and challenges of life.
