Page "Rebbe" Paragraph 3

# The leader of a Chasidus ( Chasidic movement ) is called a rebbe.

His followers would address him as " The Rebbe " or refer to him when speaking to others as " the Rebbe " or " my Rebbe ".

He is referred to by others as the Rebbe of a particular Chasidus.

It is this definition that is the focus of this article.

In Hebrew, a Chasidic Rebbe is often referred to as an admor, which is an abbreviation for Adoneinu, Moreinu, veRabbenu (" Our Master, our Teacher, and our Rebbe ").

In writing, this title is placed before the name of the Chasidus, as in " Admor of Belz "; while the title Rebbe comes after the name of the Chasidus when used as an adjective, as in " Lubavitcher Rebbe ," " Amshinever Rebbe ," and every Rebbe of every Chassidic Dynasty.
