Synagogue official (5)
I believe the answer is:
rabbi
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">synagogue official</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(rabbis are Jewish religious teachers)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for rabbi that I've seen before include "Jewish religious teacher" , "A Jewish scholar or synagogue leader" , "Leader of worshippers" , "Religious person" , "Jewish learned man" .)
