Hi there,

Grateful for help with 12a (5) 'Religious leader, revolutionary, cut down while carrying book'. I think it's r-b-e

Thanks

Could it be RABBI?

Hi there,

Don't think so - I'm fairly sure of the 'e'

Hi, Jaybee.
You're right - it's not "rabbi", and you have three correct letters.
Add an abbreviation for "book" (1), to a cut-down synonym for "a revolutionary" (4), and you have a religious leader in a Jewish sect.
Hoping this helps!

No, sorry. I'm afraid it doesn't. I still don't know it.

Rebbe

Rebe(l0 + B(ook)

oops

Rebe(l) +B

Thanks so much, Mamya. That's a word I'd never heard of before. Cheers.
