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 :)

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.
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.
