Hebrew term or phrase: כמר
I'm translating some old postcards written in Yiddish in the late 19th century. Salutations are all in Hebrew, being a long list of all the family members, each with plentiful epithets and many abbreviations. While I was able to unravel most of them, I do need help with the following please:
Men often have כמר preceding their names. What could it be? I know מר is Mr, but כמר?
