Abstract
The Temple has been the most basic element of Judaism for centuries. 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. Tanah and its interpretation constitute the basis of this religious understanding expressed as the Rabbinic Judaism. Hillel and Shammai lived in this transition period. Both have had a significant impact on the emergence and development of Rabbinic Judaism through their lives and the schools which Hillel and Shammai were founders of these schools.

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.
