rabbi
Synagogue spiritual leader
A rabbi is a Jewish religious leader and teacher, trained in Jewish law and tradition.
Rabbis lead congregations, conduct services, perform weddings and funerals, and offer spiritual guidance.
The title comes from a Hebrew word meaning "my master" or "my teacher." We asked the rabbi to officiate at the ceremony.
