While Jesus was dying on the cross God tore the veil that covered the "Holy of Holies" from the top to the bottom. This signified the end of the Old Covenant, the law and the Jewish religion, Matthew 27:51.
From this time on people were required to live by Faith and not by laws, rules or religion. Paul wrote, "The Just Shall Live by Faith" Romans 1:17.
Living by faith does not mean living by religion. Living by faith means just what it says. If you have to have and do religion then you don't have faith.
There is no record in the Talmud that this ever happened. The opposite is rather true that from the crucifixion of Jesus, all the activities in the Temple went on for another 40 years until the destruction of the Temple by the Romans. It also means that the Christian claim that the sacrifice of Jesus was what motivated the end of the sacrifices in the Temple proved to be untrue because, the sacrifices in the Temple continued for another 40 years to end only when the Temple was destroyed.
