Destruction of the Temple
The Zealots (Jewish Revolutionaries) rebelled against the ruling Romans. In response, Romans destroyed the city and the temple, where three thousand Jews were hiding. Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism survived this disaster, but were forever changed by it. -

Aftermath of the Temple Destruction
The aftermath of the destruction of the temple produced a larger focus on Christ, and a lesser focus on Judaism itself. This caused conflict between Christian Jews and Rabbinic Jews, so the two groups parted ways. This happened at the end of the first century and the start of the second. -

Aftermath of the Temple Destruction
The Rabbinic Judaism movement came from a continued and strengthened focus on Judaism. They centered Judaism around sacred writings, because of the lack of a temple. They then encouraged people to study, worship, praise, learn, etc, the Torah in synagogues or study houses. The people who interpreted the Bible were known as Rabbis, hence Rabbinic Judaism. This happened at roughly the same time the Christian-Jewish movement was taking place.
