Question
I would like to know what is the difference between a Rabbi and a Rebbe if any thank you.
Answer
Shalom
The word Rabbi is usually used as a title for someone who received ordination from a higher rabbinic authority, Rebbe is usually used as a title of a Chassidic rabbi who has followers.
Of course the context is important
Kol tuv
Being with G-d in "heaven"
Rabbi Ari Shvat | Sivan 17, 5772
Showing Respect to Rabbis
Rabbi Jonathan Blass | 5 Sivan 5763
"Teaching Thoroughly" Vs. "Teaching"
Rabbi Ari Shvat | Iyyar 19, 5776
