| + | In [[Judaism]], a '''rabbi''' is a teacher of [[Torah]]. | ||
| - | '''''Schnorrer''''' is a [[Yiddish]] term meaning "[[beggar]]" or "sponger". The word ''Schnorrer'' also occurs in [[German language|German]] to describe a person who frequently asks for little things, like cigarettes or little sums of money, without offering a return, and has thus come to mean [[freeloader]]. The [[English language|English]] usage of the word denotes a sly chiseler who will get money out of another any way he can, often through an air of entitlement. A ''schnorrer'' is distinguished from an ordinary beggar by dint of his boundless [[chutzpah]]. The term does not apply to [[beggar|begging]] or being [[Homelessness|homeless]], but rather a habit of getting things (food, tools) rather than money by politely wanting to borrow them. | + | ==See also== |

| - | The term, which is used in a [[pejorative]] or [[irony|ironic]] sense, can also be used as a [[backhanded compliment]] to someone's perseverance, cleverness, or thrift. For instance, [[Azriel Hildesheimer]], known for his travels around [[Europe]] to spread his [[rabbi]]nical wisdom to the poor, and for his refusal to accept payment for his services, was sometimes referred to as the "international ''schnorrer''" for his reliance on the local community to house and feed him wherever he went. Alternatively, [[Theodor Herzl]] described his early Eastern European immigrant supporters among the ''[[Ostjuden]]'', as his "army of ''schnorrers''". [[Israel Zangwill]] later described a ''schnorrer'' as a beggar who would chide a donor for not giving enough. | ||
