it might be intersting to note the way REV is spelled with an “A”
Rav. Feivel Koblentz.

Rev / Rabbi, back then it was all the same thing. In addition 9 times out of ten the Rabbi of the congregation especially outside of New York City was a one stop shop. He delivered sermons, officiated at wedding and funerals, shoichet, mohel, and was the general halachic authority.

I was told that “Rev” usually refers to a Shochet, not a Rov – is that true? look up Rev Judah barit, buried in bayside – would you say he wasn’t a Rov but a shochet?
On the flip side – Rev Joseph Selig Weissman, also a Baysider was a major rav.
Perhaps a Shochet was always called rev, while a rav was sometimes called rev as well.

Back to us, being listed as Rev. Only confirms that he was a shochet, leave alone that his title Shu”v says so.

My question is, was Rev Judah Barit also a shochet or a rav? I cannot confirm but right next to Barit lies Rev Israel Jaffe (I can look up my pics tomorrow)

Chaim,
Its an acronym for “Shochet U’Bodek”

Asher,
I found him listed in the board of Ezras Torah as Rev. Binyamin Antel New Haven, it was not uncommon that A Shochet officiated at weddings etc. in the absence of an official rabbi or so.

Correct me if i am wrong, reading his headstone tells me that he was a Shochet not a Rov. Is says, he was Oisek Bimleches hakodesh while dedicating time to learn too.
