In each generation the teachers of Judaism are the Rabbis. A Rabbi is somebody who has learned the Torah and Talmud and Code of Law in detail and also lives an exemplary Jewish pious life. To become a Rabbi, a person needs to be tested by another Rabbi, who will then give him permission to be a Rabbi. For more about Rabbis go to http://www.answers.com/topic/rabbi

The generic term for a teacher in Hebrew was (and still is) a melamid. But you are probably asking about the word rabbi. A rabbi was (and still is) an ordained teacher and judge of Jewish law.
