Christianity ALSO rose up out of the Pharisaic movement, as long as it stayed within Jewish circles - but frankly Christianity - once it moved into 'gentile' groups - is strongly colored by a whole lot of Hellenistic (Greek, Roman) philosophy, like the dichotomy between 'matter' and 'spirit', immort...

Once the Temple was destroyed, Judaism changed AGAIN, into what we now call 'rabbinic Judaism', which is every single variety of modern Judaism in the world today, really. Rabbinic Judaism is synagogue oriented, text/study oriented, and arose mostly out of the Pharisaic philosophical school of late ...

So, do we count the temple that was erected by Ezra and Herod's temple as one and the same??? Exactly how does that work? I thought they were distinctly different structures. Yes, Herod's temple is not considered a NEW temple, but a (fairly radical and complete) REMODELING on Ezra's Temple. Sort of...
