Re: oomis post beginning “A rebbetzin is the First ….”
“Rebbetzin” is an honorific, not a title. As you correctly stated in your first comment, it means, simply, the wife of a rabbi. But you went wrong when you suggested that not all rebbetzins are worthy of the “title.” You misunderstand the term, and you also underestimate the burden of being married to a rabbi. Rabbis are on call 24/7, must keep peace among synagogue members (if they are shul rabbis), must devote themselves to their students if they are principally employed as teachers, and must otherwise devote themselves to the Jewish community. And the rebbetzins I have known have all been “worthy of the title”, whatever that standard is.
