Rabbinic literature is a term used to describe the ancient Jewish writings, including the Mishnah, Talmuds, and Midrashic texts. However, there are several other terms that are sometimes used synonymously for rabbinic literature, such as rabbinical literature, talmudic literature, rabbinic commentary, and Jewish oral tradition. These terms are used to describe the same body of Jewish writings that aim to clarify and interpret the Jewish Scriptures. The primary focus of rabbinic literature is the study of the laws, customs, and beliefs of the Jewish people. Over the years, these writings have played a crucial role in providing guidance and inspiration to the Jewish community and preserving Jewish traditions for future generations.
