Reply To: If you do not have s'micha, can you advertise yourself as "Rabbi"?

DaasYochid – Not sure where you are going. My point was they don’t need to be called a Dr. to be an expert, and calling them a Dr. doesn’t mean they actually know anything (look at first year residents). To actually practice medicine legally they may need the accreditation (like the CPA example). One does not need to be accredited to do the job of a “Rabbi”.
