New Member Profile: Zach and Dasha Kwakenat

BASICS: What are your names and any nicknames?

Hi!  We’re Zach, Dasha, and Logan Kwakenat

YOU: Tell us about you and your family.

We moved to Chaska about 2.5 years ago from Eden Prairie. Zach has been in the mortgage industry for over 25 years. He loves to golf and is a member at Bent Creek. Dasha works with her father in the financial and insurance industries – and is trying tennis out again for the first time in 30 years!  Logan attends New Horizon and loves to swim, run, and play soccer, baseball, and tennis.

BELONG: What does belonging to a synagogue mean to you?

Belonging to a synagogue means being part of a community where we feel connected, supported, and grounded in tradition.

HERE: Why did you choose Bet Shalom?

After a visit 2 years ago and speaking with Rabbi Locketz and the President, Adam Cohen, we feel Bet Shalom is a shared space to celebrate, learn, and build lasting relationships with others who share our values.
