I yield to your knowledge on this subject. Not having been raised in
the Jewish faith, I am unfamiliar with the Rabbi hierarchy and
appreciate your enlightenment.  For someone not familiar with this
subject, how would one know the level of "credentials" of someone
introduced simply as "Rabbi Cohen" for example?
While on the subject of Jewish faith, please explain why they use the
term "G-d" instead of spelling the entire word.
