Rabbi

A Rabbi is a legal scholar who is responsible for all affairs of civil and family laws as well as religious concerns such as the structuring of religious service and dietary laws within the Jewish Religious Community. The multi-annual education takes place at a rabbinical college (Yeshiva); scholars graduate with a rabbinical diploma (Semikhah). Many rabbis additionally complete a secular study.
