My name is David Locketz and I am a rabbi in Minnesota. This website is where I am beginning to document my family’s history. I want to use this site as an interactive space to tell the stories of those in my family tree who came before me and how their stories intersected with the historical reality of the world in which they lived. I can be reached at Rabbi.Locketz@betshalom.org.
Family History is often likened to a single tree when more accurately it may be compared to a mycorrhizal network in a healthy forest when many trees of different origins and species combine together to become one.
