Should the word rabbi be capitalized?
No, unless you are using it as part of a title like a story called "The Rabbi and the Bear", or in a persons name like Rabbi John Friedman.
Do rabbis have to go to school to become a rabbi or ordained rabbi?
Yes, in order to use the title of 'Rabbi', a person must receive their 'smicha' through a Jewish religious school (Yeshiva).
Is the word rabbi capitalized in a sentence?
If you are referring to a specific rabbi using a proper noun/title, yes— in the same way you would use “Reverend” or “Father” as a title. If you are using the word as an improper noun, then no. It is like the words “doctor“ and “professor” in this way. Examples: I met Rabbi Goldbloom‘s husband yesterday. Her husband is also a rabbi. Talk to your rabbi about that issue. My rabbi— whose name is Rabbi Diamond— is of a different sect. Did you try the gefilte-fish, Rabbi? Credentials: native American English speaker, and a Jew :)
When do you captialize rabbi?

Is it acceptable to call a rabbi's wife mrs?
This really depends on the individual, some married women prefer to be called 'Mrs', others prefer 'Ms', depending on the religious community the preference might be 'Rebbitzin' which is the official title given to a Rabbi's wife. However, if the person in question has an occupational title such as 'Dr', that would most likely be the appropriate title to use.
Do you capitalize the word rabbi?
Not if used in general, as in "I spoke with the rabbi." But it is capitalized when used with a proper name, as in "Rabbi Elias was in attendance." When referring to a rabbi in writing, on first reference, capitalize before a name. On second reference use only the last name.
Is rabbi Allah's name?
No.Rabbi is the title of the religious Jewish leader.
Can there be more than one Rabbi in a synagogue?
yes....in larger congregations there is often a rabbi and one or more assistant rabbis. Some synagogues are too large for the Senior Rabbi to do everything alone. The Rabbi is the deciding religious authority in a synagogue. There may be others who assist in administrative and advisory functions. There may be others in the congregation who are qualified, knowledgable, and even have a title of Rabbi. But only one person can have that elected or paid position of authority.
