Best Answer

The Torah describes the design of eight separate items that collectively comprise the

Priest's vestments, and refers to the complete suite simply as "big-DAY k'HOO-nah" ...

'clothing of the priesthood' ... or "big-DAY KO-desh" ... 'holy clothing'.

It's important to note that there is no connection whatsoever between these 'vestments'

described in the Torah and anything worn by anyone today during a synagogue service.

The Priests of Israel conducted the service in the Holy Temple for as long as it stood, and

will be restored to their service when the Temple is rebuilt. But in our time, there has

been no Holy Temple in Israel for roughly 1,940 years, and the priestly service of Israel

has been dormant since then. The "Rabbi" is not a Priest.
