Rosh mesivta

The title rosh mesivta (alt. rosh metivta;[1] Hebrew: ראש מתיבתא; from Jewish Babylonian Aramaic rêsh mṯivtā ריש מתיבתא‎), abbreviated as Ram (ר״מ),[2][3] is a term in Jewish education for a leading figure in an educational institution. The term has a long history, going back many centuries.[4]

The role is comparable to a dean in a university.[5] Just as a chancellor outranks a dean,[6] a rosh yeshiva, when both exist, is higher.[7][8]
