A Purim Rabbi of Purim Rav (Hebrew: רב פורים; Rav Purim) is a mock rabbi appointed during the celebration of Purim to recite the Purim Torah and to perform other mock sermons.[1][2] The Purim Rabbi is not necessarily a real rabbi. The tradition of Purim Rabbi is a widespread parody in Ashkenazi yeshivot, ulpanot and other schools with religious education.
