I doubt any Jewish Freeper deems thems actual rabbis.

I absolutely agree and one of the comments state something like they’re Soros paid flunkies.

Maybe they got their rabbi degree mail order.

Reminds me of the Roman Catholic “Nuns” who demand to be priests.

That is very important point. Just as there are a plethora of people in the world who call themselves ‘Reverend’ that have no religious training or experience the same is true with Rabbi.

There are many Jews and nonJews who call themselves Rabbi just to make a point. Most notable are the gays. For some reason there are many male and female homosexuals who use the term Rabbi, even though homosexuality is explicitly forbidden under any definition of Judaism. Usually, these people are devout atheists and only use the term Rabbi to further their agenda. There are examples of this in all religions.

For example, women are not allowed to lay teffilin. However, these female rabbis will make a point to lay teffilin even though they do not observe any other element of Judaism just in protest.

So yes, as in all religions, everyone calling himself/herself a yogi is not necessarily a yogi in the traditional sense and definition of the title.
