Talk:Rabbi

[edit] Theory
In theory, any Jew who teaches Jewish law or the Hebrew language can claim the title of "Rabbi". In practice, it refers to the ordained Jewish clergy.
This is a little bit too theoretical, IMO. Any bridge-builder could rightly call himself pontifex. Doesn't make himself/herself a pope... larronsicut fur in nocte 16:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Priests
The reference to rabbis as the equivalent of priests might be a bit misleading since Judaism has a priestly class (the kohanim), even if they don't actually function as priests anymore.
