Abraham Baer ben Joseph Ezra Dobsewitch (or Dobsevage) (born Pinsk, October 17, 1843; died New York City, January 14, 1900) was a Russian Hebraist and exegete.
Dobsewitch's chief published work is Ha-Meẓaref (The Refiner), a collection of rationalistic interpretations of various passages of the Aggadah (Odessa, 1870).
Dobsewitch's two later works, Be-Ḥada Maḥeta (With One Sweep), a collection of articles (Cracow, 1888), and Lo Dubbim we-lo Ya'ar (Neither Bears nor Forest) (Berdyehev, 1890), as well as numerous articles in Hebrew periodicals, are devoted to criticisms directed against Shatzkes, Weissberg, and others.
He continued his literary activity in the United States, and contributed to Ha-'Ibri, Ner ha-Ma'arabi, and various Yiddish publications.
Dobsewitch left several works in manuscript, including one on the Masorah, one on the Samaritan text of the Pentateuch, and one on the wit and humor of ancient Jewish literature.
