Featured Article: Rabbi
A Rabbi, in Judaism, is a religious teacher and, in modern times, the leader of a synagogue. The term was first applied in Jewish sources to the early Talmudic sages of the late first and second centuries C.E. With the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem in 70 C.E., the Jewish teachers of the Law of Moses known as the Pharisees replaced the temple priests as the primary religious authorities of Judaism. Following their tradition, as codified in the Talmud, local synagogue leaders gradually assumed the role which would come to be known in later times as the rabbinical office.
