Second Temple Judaism, an important era in Jewish history, was the period from the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 516 BCE to its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE. Other terms used to describe this time period include the Second Commonwealth, the Second Temple period, and the Second Judaean Commonwealth. Additionally, scholars sometimes use the term Hellenistic Judaism to describe the cultural influence of Greek language and customs on Judaism during this era. Another term that may be used is Rabbinic Judaism, which refers to the development of the Talmudic tradition during this period and its ongoing influence on Jewish practice and law.
