Terminology and origin
The Hebrew letters for rebbe, resh-bet-yud, according to some interpretations, form an acronym for "rosh bnei yisroel", meaning "the spiritual head of the Children of Israel". More than just a rabbi, a rebbe by definition needs to be a Tzaddik; and if his influence is felt even outside of his own circles then he would also be considered a manhig Yisroel, (one of the spiritual leaders of his generation). Rabbi (pronunciation, although in English usually) in Judaism, means a religious ‘teacher’ or more literally ‘my great one’ when addressing any master For the Hebrew letter "Tzadik" see Tsade.

Distinctions between rebbe and rav
A rebbe is distinct from a 'rav' or 'rov' (a word usually translated as rabbi, who is a leader of an Orthodox Jewish community, either hasidic or non-hasidic) in that a significant function of a rav is to answer questions of halacha (Jewish law). Naftali Tzvi Labin of Zidichov (נפתלי צבי לאבין מזידיטשוב (born approx For the Talmudic sage commonly known as Rav see Abba Arika. Rav ( Heb Halakha ( הלכה; alternative transliterations include Halocho and Halacha) is the collective body of Jewish Religious law It is not uncommon for a hasidic Jew to have a rebbe as a spiritual guide and to go to a (another) rav for a ruling on an issue of religious law. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************
Chasidim use the term to denote someone that they perceive not only as the religious leader of their congregation, but as their spiritual adviser and mentor. A rebbe is someone whose views and advice are accepted not only on issues of religious dogma and practice, but in all arenas of life, including political and social issues.
There may be non-chasidim who use the concept of a (non-hasidic) rebbe in this context and would also use this term. Example: "I will ask my rebbe, Rabbi so-and-so, for advice about this personal matter. "
Among chasidim, a rebbe is referred to in Hebrew as "Admor", and a rav is often referred to as "Av Beis Din", the leader of a beth din, even if he does not lead any beth din. A beth din, beit din or beis din ( Hebrew: בית דין "house of judgment" plural battei din) is a Rabbinical In some instances, such as Munkacs and Sanz, the two terms are sometimes interchangeable.

Chasidic rebbes
The first and greatest chasidic rebbe was the founder of Chasidism, Rebbe Yisroel Baal Shem Tov. Rabbi Yisroel (Israel ben Eliezer (רבי ישראל בן אליעזר August 27, 1698 (18 Elul &ndash May 22, 1760) often called During his lifetime he was referred to mainly as "The Holy One" rather than as "Rebbe," and his disciples were "magidim" or "preachers", such as the Magid of Chernobyl or the Magid of Mezritsh. The first "rebbe" to be known as such was the Baal Shem Tov's grandson, Rabbi Boruch of Mezhbizh who was referred to as "The Rebbe" during his lifetime. Mezhbizh (also spelled as Medzibuz, Mezbuz, Mez'buz, and in various other ways transcribed from various Yiddish dialects is the name of After him, those who rose to positions of leadership and their successors began to be called rebbe. The title gradually came to suggest a higher spiritual status.
Each chasidic group refers to its leader as "The Rebbe. "
Outside of chasidic circles the term "Grand Rabbi" has been used to refer to a rebbe. The practice became widespread in America in the early 1900s when chasidic rebbes began to emigrate to the United States and a title in English was needed to distinguish them from other "rabbis".
As an example, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the Chabad Lubavitch Chasidim, was and even after his passing is still referred to as "The Rebbe" by Lubavitcher Chassidim and even many non-Lubavitchers. Menachem Mendel Schneerson ( April 18 1902 – June 12 1994) known as The Rebbe, was a prominent Hasidic Rabbi Chabad-Lubavitch is one of the largest Hasidic movements in Orthodox Judaism, and is based in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn
Relationship of chasidim to their rebbe
A chasidic rebbe is generally understood to be an exceptionally righteous person (called a "tzaddik"). Hasidic Philosophy or Hasidus (Hebrew חסידות alternatively transliterated as Hassidism, Chassidut etc For the Hebrew letter "Tzadik" see Tsade. Tzadik ( צדיק, "righteous one" pl According to Kabbalah (and particularly the chasidic understanding of Kabbalah), the world is sustained on the "shoulders" of several exceptionally righteous people in a generation (tzaddikim). Kabbalah (קַבָּלָה lit "receiving" is a discipline and school of thought discussing the mystical aspect of Judaism. These people are understood to have perfected their personal service of God to such an extent that they become literally and physically aware of God. These righteous people's perception (of both spiritual and physical, not to mention temporal matters) transcends the apparent boundaries of existence, such that a Rebbe will appear to be able to "see the future," or at least have strong insight into the life and trials of another. Furthermore, a rebbe is said to be able to affect divine providence.
As a result, chasidim in some chasidic circles seek their rebbe's advice for a variety of concerns: spiritual, physical, and even business concerns. Furthermore, many people seek the blessing (brocho) of a rebbe (and a chosid will specifically seek the blessing of his own rebbe) for anything from minor (and all the more so major) physical troubles, to grand spiritual concerns. Many famous and common stories of a rebbe's intervention involve women who successfully seek a rebbe's blessing for fertility so that they can conceive after having been barren for many years.
Given a rebbe's physical awareness of God, and the Rebbe's transcendent perception of Godliness, many chasidim take special care to observe the specific and sometimes minute practices of their Rebbe. Even things that seem mundane may nonetheless be seen by chasidim as incredibly significant. For example, Lubavitcher chasidim frequently shape their fedoras to match the way that the Lubavitcher Rebbe shaped his hat-which was more flat then many others. Chabad-Lubavitch is one of the largest Hasidic movements in Orthodox Judaism, and is based in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn Many Skverer chasidim (of the Skverer Rebbe in New Square) wear their peyos identical to those of the Skverer Rebbe. Skver (also Skvir or Skwere; סקווירא) is the name of a Hasidic dynasty founded by Rebbe Yitzchok Twerski in the city of See related article Skver (Hasidic dynasty New Square (Hebrew שיכון סקווירא) is an all-Hasidic village Payot (also peyot, payos, peyes, פאות is a Hebrew word which literally translates into English as corners, sides While chasidim do not always follow the specific practices of their rebbe, the rebbe is able to create practices that may be specific and unique to his chasidim. For example, Rabbi Aaron Roth (Reb Areleh, as he was called) the first rebbe of Shomer Emunim, told his chasidim to pause frequently while eating their meals in order to keep them from overindulging (while this practice may be viewed as meritorious even outside of that circle, it is nonetheless a practice that is unique to the chasidim of Shomer Emunim and its offshoots). Shomer Emunim (meaning "Guardian of the Faith" is a devout insular Hasidic sect
A chosid will usually love his rebbe like a close family member, if not more so. But the degree and nature of this belief varies depending on the movement. In some movements the chasidim believe that their rebbe is the "tzadik hador" (greatest and holiest saint of the generation) and would regard any thought that detracts from his perfection and holiness as heresy. Other sects lessen this idealization to some degree or another. Since many rebbes are sons-in-law or students of other rebbes, it makes sense that they would view themselves as subordinate to those other rebbes. Nonetheless, their chasidim remain loyal to them because of their special loyalty, a family connection, or a belief that a specific tzaddik (though there may be others of greater spiritual stature) connects best with one's soul. For the Hebrew letter "Tzadik" see Tsade. Tzadik ( צדיק, "righteous one" pl For example, the Kosover Rebbe makes yearly pilgrimages to the Tosher Rebbe. Kosov is the name of a Hasidic dynasty founded by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Hager of Kosiv, a town in Galicia, presently in Ukraine Tosh (also Tash; Hebrew / Yiddish: טאהש is a Hasidic dynasty originating in Nyirtass, Hungary. Nonetheless, his chasidim remain very loyal to him. The most well-known "rebbe of rebbes" was the Satmarer Rebbe, Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum. Satmar (or Satmar Hasidism or Satmarer Hasidism) (חסידות סאטמאר is a Hasidic movement of mostly Hungarian Grand Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum Rabbi Joel (Yoel Teitelbaum, ( יואל טייטלבוים) (born 1887 died August 19, 1979) known as Reb Yoelish or the Satmar
Functions carried out by Rebbes
There are some functions which are exclusively the domain of hasidic rebbes:
- Reading kvitlekh
- Leading a tish
Others are not exclusive to hasidic rebbes, but are often an important part of their role:
- Participating in family celebrations of the chasidim, such as weddings and brisn (circumcision ceremony)
- Performing mitzvos etc. Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! Please understand that this article is frequently subjected to vandalism and the insertion of personal opinions in the presence of their chasidim, such as kindling the Chanuka lights and drawing water to bake matzos with
- Leading the prayers on Shabbos, Holy Days and other special occasions
- Delivering learned or inspirational discourses (in Chabad Chassidus, this is one of the main roles of a Rebbe)
Kvitlekh
A rebbe has times when chasidim (and other petitioners) may come for a private audience. Hanukkah (חנוכה alt Chanukah) also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Matza (also Matzah, Matzoh, or Matsah) מַצָּה in Ashkenazi matzo or matzoh, and in Yiddish, matze Chabad-Lubavitch is one of the largest Hasidic movements in Orthodox Judaism, and is based in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn A kvitl (Yiddish for note, plural kvitlekh) is a note with the name of the petitioner and a short request for which the rebbe is asked to pray. The formula in which a person's name is written is one's own Hebrew name, the son/daughter of one's mother's Hebrew name, such as Shimon ben Rivkah (Simeon the son of Rebecca). Hasidim believe that rebbes read supernaturally "between the lines" of a kvitl, and in every hasidic movement there are numerous anecdotes relating how the rebbe saw things that were not written in the kvitl. In most hasidic groups, the kvitl is written by the rebbe's gabbe (secretary), however sometimes the petitioner writes it him or her self. A Gabbai ( גבאי) (or sometimes Shamash שמש} is a person who assists in the running of a Synagogue and ensures that the needs are met for example Usually, but with some exceptions, a pidyon (redemption) of cash is customarily handed to the rebbe under the kvitl, however this is not obligatory. This is considered to be the conduit through which the blessing is given, and a redemption for the soul of the petitioner. ("A gift makes its receiver glad" is given as an explanation: a blessing only comes from a joyous heart. ) It is also customary to tip the gabbe, although this too is not obligatory.
Tish
A rebbe conducts a tish (Yiddish: פֿירט טיש: feert tish) - a (communal festive) meal with highly mystical overtones - on Shabbos and other occasions. A tish (from Yiddish: 'table' is a Hasidic gathering of Hassidim around their Rebbe. A tish (from Yiddish: 'table' is a Hasidic gathering of Hassidim around their Rebbe.
