Traditions and customs of ancient jews

Question

Shalom. I'm studying hebrew language and culture and I would like to know about Jewish traditions and customs from two thousand years ago. Thank you so much.

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to study or research.

Jewish traditions and customs are essentially the same for the last two thousand years. The commandments given at Sinai (4000 years ago) as explained by the Talmud (2000 years ago) is the Judaism that is practiced today.
