Then I saw your comment. <br /><br />I think "reb" has become the new "Mr." Reb doesn't mean rabbi, at least, not colloquially. <br /><br />It's probably a psychological tactic to make the supporters feel "chashuv" as WM mentioned. <br /><br />It's the same thing as giving a gift. <br />Gvir: "I gave you money to use to support the yeshiva, not buy me a Rosh Hashana basket!"<br /><br />The fact is, raising money is difficult. Those doing this impossible task have to use every tool that they've got to get supporters to open their pockets. <br /><br />No one is mistaking these people for rabbis and asking for halachic psakim, so I see nothing wrong with it.Lost and Foundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274876739284480513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8309676664712769060.post-18664362355674168132013-11-24T19:30:33.672-08:002013-11-24T19:30:33.672-08:00not only.
