In detail
I'm an American-Canadian Ashkenazi Jew in my thirties. I edit whatever and wherever I please, and take pleasure in making improvements to poorly-written or poorly-cited stubs, start-class, and C-class articles. Overall, I am most interested in topics in Jewish Studies, anthropology, social history, and ethnomusicology. (See below for more details about my interests, and pages I've created or those where I've made substantial edits.)
My username is an homage to, and an attempt to honour, Khane Rokhl Verbermakher and Asenath Barazani, two icons of Jewish scholarship and luminaries among Jewish women.
