解説 Definition
ハシディズム（ユダヤ教の一派）における精神的指導者。信者たちの宗教的・生活上の助言者。
A rebbe is a Jewish religious leader or teacher, especially in Hasidic communities. The word often suggests not only formal leadership but also personal spiritual guidance and strong respect from followers.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rebbe は rabbi を知っていると引っかけやすい語。どちらもユダヤ教の指導者だが、rebbe は特にハシディズムで、教義を教えるだけの先生ではなく、信者が助言や祝福を求めて頼る精神的中心という響きが強い。まず「ユダヤ教指導者＝rabbi」を土台に置き、その中でも共同体に密着し、followers seek guidance from the rebbe のように“導きを受ける相手”が rebbe だと場面ごと覚えると残りやすい。
Use rabbi as your anchor word first. Rebbe is related, but it often suggests a more personal spiritual leader that followers turn to for guidance and blessing. Remember the scene, not just the label: people going to the rebbe for advice.

rebbe の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rebbe はイディッシュ語 rebe から英語に入り、さらにヘブライ語 rabbi にさかのぼります。語幹 rab-/rav- は「大きい・偉い」で、もとは「私の師」「我が先生」という敬称でした。関連語は rabbi, rabbinic。
Rebbe came into English from Yiddish rebe, and it goes back further to Hebrew rabbi. The root rab- or rav- carries the idea of greatness or authority, and the word originally meant something like "my teacher" or "my master." In Jewish tradition it became a title of respect for a religious teacher or leader. Related words include rabbi and rabbinic.
