The one star is not an indication for good or bad in fact I'm not currently seeing any type of merit or leverage for one star versus five stars. One star simply because no one else has applied one star. I drove a person here because currently I drive with Lyft and I'm thankful for the ride because I was able to learn about the Biblical principle of discord and the principle of unity from the brief conversational intelligence. I extend gratitude for the few dollars I'm able to earn and the few moments which I'm able to learn.

The Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Camp is a beautiful place for a retreat. Nestled in the mountains on a beautiful lake, there are spaces to play, nice cabins to sleep in and spacious indoor and outdoor places for study. I love to be there.

Seth, Adam, Jenn and the entire staff at Berkshire were awesome when our group came for a weekend retreat at the Adult vacation area. They were patient with our many questions about the Kosher regulations and super responsive as we prepared to come. It's a beautiful location and easy to get around to the various buildings.
