What does RAV mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rabbi, especially as a title before a name.
Rav is Hebrew for great, and it does duty as both a title and a form of address: a teacher is called Rav, and so is the man consulted about a household question. It carries more weight than the English word it is usually translated by, since it implies somebody whose rulings people actually follow.
