Did rabbinic Judaism substitute a non-biblical atonement?

Following the Temple destruction in 70 C.E. did rabbinic Judaism substitute a non-biblical atonement system? Answer: Biblically, the optimum means for attaining atonement consists of both animal sacrifices and sincere confessionary repentant prayer used in conjunction with each other.

Chaplain Crosses the Line for the Cross

1/28/05 by Steve Yuhas Unfortunately, the role that Army Chaplain Capt. Andy Taylor played while deployed with the 6th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery in Iraq strayed from that duty.

The blue string

Q:I was reading a book that referenced the "true" meaning of the colors in the temple I.e. Scarlet, blue, purple and white. The author believes that these colors were a foreshadow of "Jesus."

I would like to know more about the real meaning of the col
