Historical Rabbis were Jewish religious leaders and scholars who played a crucial role in interpreting and teaching the Torah and other sacred texts. They emerged after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, transitioning Judaism from a temple-centered worship to a community-based practice. Their teachings laid the foundation for Rabbinic Judaism, which emphasizes study, prayer, and ethical living. Many famous Rabbis, such as Hillel and Shammai, contributed to the development of Jewish law and ethics through their debates and teachings. Their writings, including the Mishnah and Talmud, continue to influence Jewish thought and practice today, shaping the way Judaism is understood and lived.
