The early rabbis were Pharisees, one of two main parties in first century Judaism. Where their opponents, the Saducees, emphasized the sacrificial rituals of the Temple, Phariseeic Judaism was centered on local synagogues. Where the Saducees focused on the obligations of people to tithe and bring sacrifices, Pharisees emphasized personal piety, ethics, prayer and learning. When the Temple was destroyed and the sacrificial rituals ended, Phariseeic Judaism provided a foundation for the continuation of the Jewish tradition.
