		Rabbinic Judaism represents the largest group of Judaism and is in most vernacular forms used interchangeably with the term "Judaism." There are, however, different interpretations among religious groups within Rabbinic Judaism about the nature of revelation and the function of rabbinic decisions.
		Reform Judaism, which considers the Torah to be the work of humans, though possibly inspired by the divine, and who identify with the ethical and moral missions of the prophets.

		The rest of the Oral Torah is contained in the vast corpus of rabbinic literature composed between 300 and c.600CE.

	The Writings of Rabbinic Judaism
		Your "image" of orthodox Judaism probably goes something like this "When the Second Temple was destroyed and the Jews were exiled (the beginning of the Diaspora) the Rabbis carried the religion along with them, retaining the Torah but more-or-less ignoring the stuff about Temple sacrifices.
		With the destruction of the Temple and the associated exile the Jewish religion lost its centers — the Temple, which was the one place on Earth that God resided; sacrifice as the focal action of religious observance; and the sense of being a people attached to a homeland.
		Judaism has always had people who claimed to be in direct contact with God.

	Review of Gabrielle Boccaccini, Roots of Rabbinic Judaism: An Intellectual History, from Ezekiel to Daniel
		During the Ptolemaic and Seleucid periods, however, one strand of Sapiential Judaism wanders off into Greek and becomes the foundation of Hellenistic Judaism in the Diaspora, while the Hebraic branch in Palestine merges slowly with the Zadokite tradition, the two engendering both the Sadduceism and the Pharisaism of the Maccabean period.
		In Boccaccini's view, the "roots" of Rabbinic Judaism are to be found in the Zadokite tradition as modified by Sapiential Judaism and given expression in the Maccabean period's book of Daniel.
		The "origins" of Rabbinic Judaism, the subject of the forthcoming volume mentioned above, are then to be sought in the Pharisaism that emerges out of the Maccabean period, when "the ideas of covenant and afterlife retribution were supplemented by the ideas of the preexistence of the Torah and of the oral Torah" (e.g., p.

		As a result of that event, and as a result of the labors of the ancient Jewish religious leaders whom we call "the rabbis," Judaism was transformed from a priestly, sacrificial religion to a scholastic religion whose central modes of worship were prayer and, above all, study.
		Yet, down to the end of the rabbinic period, Palestine continued to be a major center of Jewish life and thought.

		Rabbinic Judaism, in its classical writings produced from the first through the seventh century of the Common Era, sets forth a theological system that is orderly and reliable.
		Responding to the generative dialectics of monotheism, Rabbinic Judaism systematically reveals the justice of the one and only God of all creation.
		A narrative story of the Rabbinic sages’ theological system sounds remarkably familiar—the age-old story of God’s justice (to which his mercy is integral), of humanity’s relationship with god as a possessor of the power of will, and of humanity's sin and God's response.

		Central to both biblical narrative and rabbinic commentary, circumcision has remained a defining rite of Jewish identity, a symbol so powerful that challenges to it have always been considered taboo.
		He traces the symbolism of circumcision through Jewish history, examining its evolution as a symbol of the covenant in the post-exilic period of the Bible and its subsequent meaning in the formative era of Mishnah and Talmud.
		Differentiating official mores about gender from actual practice, Hoffman surveys women's spirituality within rabbinic society and examines the roles mothers played in their sons' circumcisions until the medieval period, when they were finally excluded.

		This volume examines the history of Judaism as it developed from the religion of biblical Israel to the Judaism of the talmudic rabbis.
		One of the book's major theses is that the various approaches to Judaism shared sufficient common ground as to be classified as one, albeit variegated, religious tradition.
		Diverging trends are traced and explored as is the question of the role of interpretation, the impact of external influences, and the process by which the competing approaches were eventually supplanted by rabbinic tradition, which became the basis for medieval and modern Judaism.
