Babylonian Talmud
Savora ("a reasoner") or plural Savora'im is a term used in Jewish law and history to signify one among the leading rabbis living from the end of period of the Amoraim (around 500 AD) to the beginning of the Geonim (around 600 AD). As a group they are also referred to as the Rabbeinu Sevorai or Rabanan Saborai, and may have played a large role in giving the Talmud its current structure. Modern scholars also use the plural term Stammaim (Hebrew; "closed, vague or unattributed sources") for the authors of unattributed statements in the Gemara.
Rabbinic Judaism has been an orthodox form of Judaism since the 6th century AD, after the codification of the Babylonian Talmud. It has its roots in the Pharisaic school of Second Temple Judaism and is based on the claim that Moses at Mount Sinai received both the Written Torah (Torah she-be-Khetav) and the Oral Torah (Torah she-be-al Peh) from God.
However, Karaite Jews are a Jewish sect that bases its religious law solely on the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and rejects the authority of the Oral Law, including the Talmud. They are called "Followers of Scripture," emphasizing the importance of direct, individual study of the Bible for interpreting religious law. Karaite communities, which originated in the 8th century, have historically been distinct from Rabbinic Judaism but still exist today, with a significant population in Israel.
