Rabbinic Judaism, also known as Rabbinic tradition, is a form of Judaism that places emphasis on the teachings and interpretations of the Oral Torah by the rabbis, as recorded in the Talmud and other works of rabbinic literature. It emerged following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, as a way for Jewish communities to maintain their religious identity and practices without a centralized temple-based system. Rabbinic Judaism is characterized by its focus on study and interpretation of Jewish law and tradition, as well as its emphasis on communal prayer and observance of the Sabbath and holidays. It also places great importance on ethical behavior and personal piety. Rabbinic Judaism has been the dominant form of Judaism for the past two millennia, and it continues to shape Jewish life and practice today. In terms of hierarchy, Rabbinic Judaism falls under the broader category of Judaism, which is itself a subcategory of Types of Religions, which is further classified under Deism, within the larger category of Religions. This structure reflects the historical development of Jewish thought and practice, as well as its continued relevance to contemporary religious discourse.
