"Rabbinic" refers to the teachings and traditions associated with the Rabbi, a Jewish religious leader and teacher. This term encompasses the body of literature, laws, and interpretations that have developed over centuries, primarily through the Talmud and Mishnah. Rabbinic Judaism emerged after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, focusing on the study of texts and the application of Jewish law in daily life. The Rabbinic tradition emphasizes the importance of community, ethical behavior, and the interpretation of sacred texts. Rabbis serve as spiritual guides, educators, and legal authorities, helping to maintain Jewish identity and practice. Their teachings often address contemporary issues while rooted in ancient texts and traditions.
