When? Prior to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans in the year 70, Jews made pilgrimages to Jerusalem 3 times a year, on Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost) and Succot (Booths) to make sacrifices at the Temple. Jews tithed, giving produce and animals to the Levites (members of the tribe of Levi) and the Cohenim (priestly descendants of Aaron) to support the sacrificial system at the Temple. Jewish scribes recorded a wide variety of legal documents but also copied the sacred scriptures of the Jews (what we now call the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament). The early rabbis emphasized prayer and personal piety, teaching in the early synagogues and arguing in extraordinary detail how to follow the many commandments given in the Torah, the most foundational of the scriptures.
