Pharisees
The
Pharisees
were at various times a political party, a
social movement
, and a
school of thought
in the
Holy Land
during the time of
Second Temple Judaism
. After the
destruction of the Second Temple
in 70 CE, Pharisaic beliefs became the foundational, liturgical and ritualistic basis for
Rabbinic Judaism
(the term 'Judaism' today almost always refers to Rabbinic Judaism).
