Rabbinischen

Rabbinischen is the inflected form of the German adjective rabbinisch, meaning rabbinic or relating to rabbis. In German, the term is used to describe things connected with rabbis, rabbinic authorities, or rabbinic literature and tradition. The word derives from the Hebrew rabbi, meaning teacher or master, and has been incorporated into German to designate the rabbinic facet of Judaism.

In scholarly contexts, rabbinisch denotes the corpus and tradition of Rabbinic Judaism, including key texts such as the Mishnah, the Gemara (forming the Talmud), Midrash, Halakhah, and responsa. These texts were developed by rabbinical authorities from late antiquity onward and continue to influence Jewish law and practice. The adjective appears in a wide range of combinations, for example rabbinische Literatur, rabbinische Kommentare, or rabbinische Quellen.

The form rabbinischen specifically arises as the declined adjective in various grammatical cases, as in rabbinischen Quellen or im rabbinischen Sinn, reflecting standard German adjective endings. In German-language scholarship and discussion, rabbinisch is commonly used to label material attributed to rabbinic authorities or to distinguish rabbinic interpretation from biblical, philosophical, or mystical strands within Judaism.

Overall, rabbinischen functions as a linguistic marker in German for anything pertaining to the rabbinate or to Rabbinic Judaism, and it is most often encountered in academic, historical, or literary contexts dealing with rabbinic sources and authority.
