Jews do not "need" a rabbi in order to worship, as worship and a Jewish lifestyle can be carried out without one - a rabbi's role is similar but not identical to that of a priest. However, in order to be ordained as a rabbi, rabbinical students must achieve an in-depth and detailed knowledge and understanding of Jewish history, law and faith - as such, they are extremely useful as experts on various Jewish matters and as a sort of community leader.

Jews need a rabbi for guidance and leadership in matters of Jewish law, traditions, and rituals. Rabbis study and are knowledgeable in Jewish texts and teachings, and they can provide spiritual guidance, counsel, and support to individuals and the community. Rabbis also play a role in officiating weddings, funerals, and other life cycle events.
