  Hakham - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In Muslim countries, a rabbi was often called a hakham because al-Rab in Arabic was one of the names of God and may have caused offense due to misunderstanding (and the attendant blasphemy trials and potential pogroms) was feared.
Thus the chief rabbi of the Ottoman Empire was called the "Hakham Baši" (Hakham Bashi).
Since Karaite theology is based on the use of reason by individuals to determine the applications of the Hebrew Bible's laws for themselves, the role of a hakham is more "advisory" than that of a rabbi in standard Orthodox Judaism.
