Tana'im

Tana'im were Jewish scholars who lived during the period roughly between 70 CE and 200 CE, instrumental in studying, interpreting, and teaching the Hebrew Bible and Jewish laws. Their work laid the foundation for the Mishnah, a key Jewish legal text. Tana'im engaged in debates and recorded traditions to preserve religious practices and laws for future generations. Their teachings help shape Jewish religious life and legal understanding today.
