myfriend, AFAIK, in order to truly be a Rabbi, you need smicha.
If everyone is called Rabbi, what distinguishes a true Rabbi?
I can tell you that my BIL, a really good Jew who learns a ton and is very knowledgable is NOT a Rabbi nor does he expect anyone to call him one.
That’s ok Mod80. I know sometimes its really frustrating when people miss your point by nitpicking, even though the point is a decent one.
