Origins of Rabbinic Judaism  Rabbinic Judaism or Rabbinism has been the mainstream form of Judaism since the 6th century, after the codification of the Talmud. Rabbinic Judaism gained predominance within the Jewish diaspora between the 2nd to 6th centuries, with the development of the Oral Law (Mishna and Talmud) to control the interpretation of Jewish scripture (specifically the Masoretic Text) and to encourage the practice of Judaism in the absence of Temple sacrifice and other practices no longer possible, while awaiting the Third Temple. Before the so-called Babylonian captivity, Judaism could not be semantically spoken of. Of course, the ancestors of the Jews, like their kindred neighbors - the Canaanites and Phoenicians adhered to the old West Semitic religious understandings and practices. Proof of this is the biblical story of Gehenna. Allegorically Babylon is symbolized by the Tower of Babel, that is, by the mixing of peoples and languages, which comes to show that there was no separate Jewish community before that of the Canaanites and Phoenicians. After the Babylonian captivity and under pressure from the King of Kings began to take shape a single and centralized cult in Jerusalem. Naturally, this single and centralized (monotheistic) club encounters serious local resistance in Canaan and Phenicia. Given both religious traditions and interest clubs and places. The history of Judaism is closely linked to the rabbinic tradition, which dates back to the time of Alexander the Great with the siege of Tyre (332 BC). The formation of the outlook of the Jews which led to the formation of their religion began in the second millennium BC in Canaan. The earliest period of birth of this religion, as it is known today, based on its conservative tradition, is called Zugot. Semantics shows not only the pairs of rabbis, but also the dual nature. The dual nature is expressed in the connection of religion with the ancient Canaanite and Phoenician religious traditions and practices on the one hand /including Punic Carthage, moreover the name of the currency of Israel and Carthage is one Shekel/ and on the other the historical context of the time, namely Hellenistic period; Punic Wars; the rise of Rome; the Maccabean Revolt; the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem and the Jewish–Roman wars. Rabbinic tradition holds that the details and interpretation of the law, which are called the "Oral Torah" or "oral law", were originally an unwritten tradition based upon what God told Moses on Mount Sinai.
