A Rabbi is primarily a teacher. Depending on the focus of the individual Rabbi, he or she have different specialties. Some Rabbis are pulpit rabbis who have congregations. Their main job is to lead religious services and work with congregants, often running religious classes.

Other Rabbis specialise in religious law, similar to lawyers and judges. Others work specifically as teachers, etc.
