Rabbinic Judaism

Rabbinic Judaism is the form of Judaism that developed after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. It emphasizes the study and interpretation of Jewish texts, particularly the Torah, and the Talmud, which is a compilation of discussions and laws by rabbis. Central to Rabbinic Judaism is the belief in a continuous oral tradition, guiding Jewish law and ethics. It focuses on community practices, synagogue worship, and the importance of education. This form of Judaism laid the foundation for many contemporary Jewish practices and beliefs, making it the dominant tradition in Judaism today.
