Rabbinic Judaism

For Rabbinic Judaism we have a term and definition in Dead Sea Scrolls.



Rabbinic Judaism (Dead Sea Scrolls)

The form of Judaism that became most widely accepted from the second century CE on. It espouses various teachings of the rabbis ("masters" or "great ones") or hakhamim ("sages") as binding for Jewish thought and practice. Rabbinic Judaism harks back to the earlier Pharisaic Judaism; like the Pharisees, the rabbinic Jews accept the validity of oral tradition, beliefs in angels and spirits, and the resurrection of the dead.
