The Hebrew word "Rabbi" means "teacher". Unlike Christian ministers who are divinely "called", rabbis acquire the title through study of traditional Jewish texts.
In traditional Judaism, there was only one Temple -- the one in Jerusalem. After it was destroyed by the Romans, Jews met in "study houses" -- synagogues. Travelling rabbis stayed in the synagogue and conducted study sessions during their visits. Wealthier communities employed a rabbi full-time.

Who is the rabbi of Brighton and hove synagogue?
Which one? There are several synagogues in Brighton and Hove. The Reform Synagogue's rabbi is, I believe, Rabbi Charles Wallach. The Progressive Synagogue has Rabbi Elizabeth Tikvah Sarah. Hove Hebrew Congregation (Orthodox) has Rabbi Hershel Rader.
