''Rebbe'' ((ヘブライ語:רבי)) ,〔Oxford Dictionary of English, Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary〕 is a Yiddish word derived from the Hebrew word ''rabbi'', which means "master, teacher, or mentor". Like the title "rabbi" it refers to teachers of Torah or leaders of Jewry. In common parlance of modern times, the term "The Rebbe" is often used specifically by Hasidim to refer to the leader of their Hasidic movement.〔 ==Terminology and origin== The Yiddish term ''rebbe'' comes from the Hebrew word ''rabbi'', meaning "My Master", which is the way a student would address a master of Torah. It was an honorific originally given to those who had Smicha in the Pharisaic and Talmudic era. Since vowels were not written at the time, it is impossible to know historically whether it was pronounced rah-bee () or r-bee (). The English word ''rabbi'' () comes directly from this form. In Yiddish, the word became ''reb-eh'' ()—now commonly spelled ''rebbe'' (—or just ''reb'' (). The word ''master'' רב ' (:ˈʁäv) literally means "great one". The Sages of the Mishnah known as the ''Tannaim'', from the 1st and 2nd centuries of the common era, were known by the title ''Rabbi'' () (for example, Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Shimon bar Yochoy). Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, the leader of Jewry in Mishnaic Times, was simply called ''Rabbi'' (), as being the rabbi par excellence of his generation. The Sages of the Talmud known as the ''Amoraim'', from the 3rd, 4th and early 5th centuries, those born in the Land of Israel, are called ''Rabbi'' (); those born in the diaspora are known by the title ''Rav'' (). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rebbe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
