Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -His name is often preceded by the honorific title, “Rabban.” He is widely regarded as one of the most important Jewish figures of his time and his escape from the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, that allowed him to continue teaching, may have been instrumental in rabbinic Judaism surviving the destruction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, what can be reported essentially about Johanan is this: even before ad 70 he acted as a leading representative of the Pharisees in debate with priestly and Sadducean authorities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rabbinic Judaism has its roots in Pharisaic Judaism and is based on the belief that Moses at Mount Sinai received both the Written Torah (Torah she-be-Khetav) and the Oral Torah (Torah she-be-al Peh) from God. The Oral Torah, transmitted orally, explains the Written Torah.
