Jerusalem Talmud
New contributions to rabbinic law and its influence on subsequent Jewish thought and practice. The Jerusalem Talmud is a compilation of Jewish oral law and rabbinic commentary that expands on the Mishnah, one of the core texts of Jewish law. Completed in the Land of Palestine around the 4th century AD, it contains detailed discussions on a wide range of Jewish laws, ethics, and traditions, though it covers fewer topics than the more extensive Babylonian Talmud. Although attributed to Jerusalem, more accurately the place of source and origin is from Galilee in Byzantine Palaestina Secunda rather than from Jerusalem, where no Jews were allowed to live at the time since the year 135 AD.
Methodology: Their work focused on interpreting scripture and rabbinic texts through a method called Midrash (exegesis).
Time period: They were active after the Tannaim, following the completion of the Mishnah around 200 AD, and their work concluded around 500 AD when the next group of scholars, the Saboraim, took over.
Prominent figures: Some famous Amoraim include Rav, Samuel, Abbaye, Rava, and Rav Ashi.
Significance: The Amoraim's work was crucial for the development and transmission of Jewish law and tradition, shaping the future of Jewish life and practice.
