Jewish History - Rise of Rabbinic Judaism (9a of 20 sessions)

Out of the ashes of the destroyed Jerusalem Temple, a new interpretation of Judaism emerges. Its new clergy are rabbis (not priests), its new ritual is prayer and study (not sacrifice), and its new Scripture is a double Torah-written and oral. The changes they make in this era will be the tradition we inherit directly. Rabbi Adam Chalom, Dean for North America of the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, continues his exploration of Jewish history.
