		This title, a higher distinction than that of rabbi, is in tradition borne only by the descendants of Gamaliel I., the last being Gamaliel III., the son of Jehuda I. (Aboth ii.

	Rabbi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Today rabbis are still responsible for teaching on matters of Jewish religion in general and law in particular; and are usually qualified to determine the applicability of Jewish law.
		Synagogue rabbis (also known as "pulpit rabbis") typically speak on behalf of their communities on a wide range of issues, offer spiritual leadership for their congregation, and are usually involved in Jewish lifecycle events.
		The rabbi is not an occupation found in the Torah (i.e the Pentateuch) as such; the first time this word is mentioned is in the Mishnah (most commonly thought to be codified around 200 C.E, that codification often attributed to Rabbi Judah Hanasi).

	Samson Raphael Hirsch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (June 20, 1808 – December 31, 1888) was the intellectual founder of the Torah im Derech Eretz school of contemporary Orthodox Judaism.
		In 1830 Hirsch was elected chief rabbi (Landesrabbiner) of the principality of Oldenburg.
		In contrast, a third middle opinion held by Hirsch's descendants (his son-in-law and successor Rabbi Salomon Breuer, his grandson Rabbi Joseph Breuer and the latter's successor Rabbi Shimon Schwab) and some Jewish historians, says that both of these understandings of Hirsch's philosophy are misguided; they refer to these readings of Hirsch as improper historical revisionism.

	Judaism 101: Rabbis, Priests, and Other Religious Functionaries
		A rabbi is not a priest, neither in the Jewish sense of the term nor in the Christian sense of the term.

		A rabbi is simply a teacher, a person sufficiently educated in halakhah (Jewish law) and tradition to instruct the community and to answer questions and resolve disputes regarding halakhah.
