Rabbinical Judaism

Rabbinical Judaism is a major form of Judaism that emerged after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. It emphasizes the study of Jewish texts, particularly the Torah and the Talmud, which contain law, ethics, and traditions. Rabbis, as religious leaders and teachers, interpret these texts, guiding the community's spiritual and legal practices. Unlike ancient sacrificial worship, Rabbinical Judaism focuses on prayer, ethical living, and the observance of mitzvot (commandments). It serves as the foundation for most modern Jewish beliefs and practices, fostering a communal and intellectual approach to faith.
