The Rabbinic Sabbath

Robert M. Johnston ; Andrews University, Berrien Springs, MI, USA

Abstract

Of the numerous Jewish denominations in existence before A.D. 70, only two survived the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. One of these was Christianity and the other was Pharisaism. Deprived of the Temple and fi nding it necessary to adjust to the devastating results of a tragic war and a dramatically altered outlook, Pharisaism necessarily changed. Th is post-A.D. 70 continuation of Pharisaism is referred to as Rabbinic Judaism, and from it virtually all modern forms of Judaism are escended. Th is article provides a brief sketch of -the Sabbath as it is regarded and observed in classical Rabbinic Judaism.
