A "Rebbe" is a spiritual leader and teacher in the Hasidic Jewish community. The term is derived from the Hebrew word for "my teacher" and signifies a person who provides guidance, wisdom, and support to their followers. Rebbes often lead prayer services, offer religious teachings, and help their community members with personal and spiritual matters.
Rebbes are typically seen as intermediaries between their followers and God. They may also be involved in various community activities, including charitable work and education. Each Rebbe usually has a unique approach to spirituality, often influenced by the teachings of their predecessors, such as the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidism.
