Star with money rebuilt religious community (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monastery

'religious community' is the definition.
(community of monks)

'star with money rebuilt' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'rebuilt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'star' after 'money' is 'moneystar'.
'moneystar' with letters rearranged gives 'MONASTERY'.

(Other definitions for monastery that I've seen before include "One vows to stay here" , "Where brothers gather" , "Religious house" , "Community of monks" , "brother's house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
