| Summary: | The five centuries of the Second Temple era mark a significant transition from Israelite religion to the emergence of practices that would characterize Judaism as it developed after the fall of the Temple. Rituals of circumcision, the observance of Sabbath, and bathing for purification were common practices occurring outside the Temple that shaped the Jewish identity of individuals. Popular practices involving “magic” without centralized sanction also became prevalent. The rise of scripture and the emergence of the synagogue as a communal place for studying the Torah are two important developments that would shape Judaism to the present. |
