Rebbe

A Rebbe (Yiddish: רבי, romanized: rebe) or Admor (Hebrew: אדמו״ר) is the spiritual leader in the Hasidic movement, and the personalities of its dynasties. The titles of Rebbe and Admor, which used to be a general honor title even before the beginning of the movement, became, over time, almost exclusively identified with its Tzadikim.

This article is about the social functions of Hasidic leadership. For the Hasidic theory of leadership, see Tzadik. For Menachem Mendel Schneerson (commonly referred to as The Rebbe), see Menachem Mendel Schneerson. For other uses, see Rebbe (disambiguation).
