Karaite Judaism is a Jewish movement that emerged in the 8th or 9th century, emphasizing the authority of the Hebrew Bible alone, rather than the Talmud and other rabbinic texts. Karaites believe that each individual can interpret the scriptures without relying on traditional rabbinic interpretations, leading to diverse practices and beliefs within the community. Karaites observe many Jewish laws and customs, but their interpretations can differ significantly from those of Rabbinic Judaism. They celebrate traditional Jewish holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur, while adhering to their unique understanding of the scriptures and their application in daily life.
