The Pharisees Explained: The Origins of Rabbinic Judaism
The Pharisees were a leading Jewish sect during the Second Temple period (200 BCE–70 CE) and are widely regarded as the intellectual and spiritual forerunners of Rabbinic Judaism. Unlike the aristocratic Sadducees, the Pharisees championed the Oral Torah, the resurrection of the dead, and personal ethics as central to Jewish life. Their teachings shifted Jewish practice away from Temple rituals toward Torah study, prayer, and community law.
In this video, we explore how the Pharisees interpreted scripture, clashed with rival sects like the Sadducees and Essenes, and became a dominant force after the Temple’s destruction. Their emphasis on legal interpretation and synagogue worship laid the foundation for centuries of Jewish religious thought.
Whether you're exploring ancient sects, modern Judaism’s roots, or biblical history, this episode offers a clear, accessible insight into the Pharisaic legacy.
