To remove rabbinical authority, practice, or control from something.
From 'de-' (remove) + 'rabbinize' (to make rabbinical). 'Rabbi' comes from Hebrew 'rabbī' meaning 'my master.' The term is rare and primarily appears in historical and religious studies contexts.
This word reveals how Jewish communities have navigated different approaches to religious authority—some movements intentionally derabbinized traditions to democratize religious practice and interpretation.
