Rabbinic

Rabbinic refers to a body of Jewish teaching and literature shaped by rabbis in the centuries following the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 CE. With temple-based worship no longer possible, Jewish life became centered on study, interpretation, and practice within local communities. Rabbinic writings preserve discussions, disagreements, legal guidance, and narrative material that explain how the Torah should be understood and lived out. Rather than presenting a single voice, rabbinic literature often records multiple viewpoints, reflecting an ongoing process of interpretation and adaptation.
