Synod of Jamnia

The Synod of Jamnia, held around 90 CE, was a gathering of Jewish scholars and leaders to discuss and clarify which Hebrew scriptures should be considered authoritative and canonical. This assembly is often thought to have finalized the Jewish Bible's content, influencing the inclusion of certain books. While some modern scholars debate its significance, traditionally it's viewed as a key moment in defining Jewish religious texts, shaping the boundaries between sacred writings and other literature, and impacting how Jewish and Christian scriptures are understood today.
