Using the phrase \"Jewish rabbi\" would be completely redundant, unless there are now Buddhist or Hindu rabbis or something and I just didn't get the memo. They could specify whether the rabbi was Reform, Conservative or Orthodox, I suppose, but that's the only reason it would be useful to specify a religious denomination one way or the other.
