Rabbi
A Rabbi is a Jewish religious leader and teacher who interprets and applies Jewish law and tradition. They guide congregations in prayer, provide spiritual leadership, and offer pastoral care. Rabbis often lead services, officiate at life events such as weddings and funerals, and educate community members about Judaism. The title comes from the Hebrew word meaning "my teacher," reflecting their role in teaching and guiding followers in their faith. Rabbis can also be scholars, engaging in theological discussions and contributing to Jewish literature and thought.
