Someone answered this question earlier and stated that "...an imam in islam is a very high ranked person...", therefore, he is not comparable to a Rabbi.
This observation roots from comparing what an Imam ought to be to what Rabbis are perceived to be as today. Unfortunately, the Imams (the scholars of the muslim Ummah) have mislead their people, much like Rabbis have mislead the jews. This was prophesied by both, prophet Moses and prophet Muhammad (sa).
A Rabbi is supposed to be learned in the Torah and is supposed to guide the members of the Jewish community, much like an Imam.
Both give sermons, lead marriage seremonies/Nikah, funerals and preside in a synagogue/mosque. Hence, a Rabbi is to Judaism as an Imam is to Islam.
I (adampuri) my self have the same attitude. These days people with less or no ability are exploiting every religions. So take as imam or Rbbi who really has knowledge not so called scholers
