Answer 2

Rebbitzin (in Yiddish, or Rabbanit in Hebrew) is the title used for the wife of a rabbi, typically from the Orthodox, or Haredi, and Hasidic movements. It should not be confused with the title of "Rebbe" which is used by Hasidic rabbinical leaders.

Sometimes, Rebbitzin is abbreviated as Reb. (usually with a period, i.e. full stop, at the end of it), but it should not be confused with the Hebrew and Yiddish "title" of Reb which may be a shortened form for Rebbe or simply a simple title of honor for any Jewish male, almost like "Sir". Rebbitzin can also be used as an informal title for Mrs. even if she is not the wife an ordained rabbi or scholar.

In many Chassidic Courts, Rebbitzins are considered to be spiritual counselors, and give blessings. in Circles such as the chassidic dynasty of Belz, the girls schools are run by the rebbitzin. There are also several recorded instanced of female rebbes, who while technically rebbitzins, were full-fledges Rebbes in their own right. one such famous case is the Maiden of Ludmir.
