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:

  1. I met Rabbi Goldbloom‘s husband yesterday. Her husband is also a rabbi.

  2. Talk to your rabbi about that issue. My rabbi— whose name is Rabbi Diamond— is of a different sect.

  3. Did you try the gefilte-fish, Rabbi?
