Now it's "Rabbi-auctioneer"..
Further to the earlier post about "rabbi-chef" and "rabbi-plumber" we now can add to our list "rabbi-auctioneer (and all things real-estate)".
We don't know if the reverend gentleman currently (or previously) occupies/ed any rabbinical position, but his qualifications he would really be handy in a Shul where the Aliyot are 'auctioned' off every week.
Why, does he insist on using the title 'rabbi'? Does he think that anyone will think that makes him a better agent?
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. LIke used car salesmen, politicians and other shysters, it'll take a lot more than being called a 'rabbi', before we trust these types
