But after the destruction of the Second Temple at A.D. 70 by Titus, Temple-oriented religious approaches and practices have ceased to exist, and Tanah and its interpretations are at the center of Judaism.

In this article, intended to better understanding of the religious structures of the time when Rabbinic Judaism emerged, by explaining the lifes of Hillel and Shammai and the basic features and opinions their schools.
