gabbai
A ''gabbai'' ((ヘブライ語:גבאי)), also known as ''shamash'' (sometimes spelled shamas) or warden (UK, similar to churchwarden) is a beadle or sexton, a person who assists in the running of synagogue services in some way. The role may be undertaken on a voluntary or paid basis. A ''shamash'' (literally "servant") can also mean an assistant to a rabbi (particularly the secretary or personal assistant to a Hassidic Rebbe).
==Etymology==
The word "''gabbai''" is Aramaic and, in Talmudic times, meant collector of taxes or charity, or treasurer.〔''(Dictionary of the Targumim, Talmud Bavli, Talmud Yerushalmi and Midrashic Literature )'' by Marcus Jastrow. (London, 1903) 1971/2004 reprinting ISBN 1-932443-20-7. p.206〕
The term ''shamash'' is sometimes used for the ''gabbai'', the caretaker or "man of all work," in a synagogue. An example from literature is "Moshe the Beadle", a character in ''Night'' by Elie Wiesel.
