Dobzewitz (aka Shmavis) is Adam Davis. In addition to being pretty involved Jewishly, he’s the guy behind KFAR Jewish Arts Center and also this website… He has previously contributed to World Jewish Digest, American Jewish Life and Mimaamakim and the JewishGen community. He undertakes events and community organizing initatives with superhuman strength, fueled only by Manischewitz and Cholent. He wants to make the Jewish community better, more vibrant and connected. And funner. Er.

CHIkvetcher contacted us out of the blue and wanted to be able to bitch about things. So we said “why not” and gave her a shot.
Amy Guth to most, Shifreh to the Tribe. I’m new to JewishFringe, beside myself with excitement to be here and looking forward to getting to know everyone a little better. She keeps a daily blah blah blog at Bigmouth Indeed Strikes Again, and recently started up Granola Bar D’var. I’ve been busy lately, touring around (until the end of the year!) to pimp my new novel, Three Fallen Women, but it’s good, clean fun. Anyway, enough about me, I have some posts to prepare!
