Tamar-thank you....1st Anon-thanks for adding that!<br /><br />Tamar-thank you.<br /><br />2nd Anon-What I meant to say is that when we call our forefathers with the title <i>Avinu</i> after their first name, it's a reminder for us that they are not meant to be people from the distant past but we should feel as if they are as close to us as our fathers!<br /> <br />I think it is still respectful because we call them with a title after their names. Not just Avraham but Avraham Avinu and the same with all the other avos. That's what makes it okay.<br /><br />And the second part of the answer also shows that since we need to have more respect we to call our leaders with the titles of Rav or Rabbi. It's because of the level of our generation.

This is why we have, say, Hillel and Shammai, but later on R' Yehudah HaNasi and R' Shimon bar Yochai.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
