Some grab Birmingham teacher (5)

I believe the answer is:

rabbi

'teacher' is the definition.
(Jewish teacher)

'some grab birmingham' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'RABBI' is hidden within 'grab birmingham'.

(Other definitions for rabbi that I've seen before include "A Jewish clergyman" , "Religious leader of Jewish congregation" , "Leader of worshippers" , "Legal expert" , "Hebrew scholar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
