We are the Pharisees. We are the second largest sect in Israel! We believe evil will be punished and good should be praised. We follow the written and oral Torah and we dislike the Sadducees. We started the Rabbinic movement
Sects began to form
We are the Zealots, we punish our nation on behalf of God. Sicariis root out and kill people who don't follow our beliefs inside our sect.They kill the offenders with a dagger. People describe us as bandits. we aremost known for leading 800 of our tribe to jump off mountain Masada, instead of being taken alive by the Romans.
We are Sadducee. Other sects think of us as rude and we don't believe God is actively with us. He is removed from evil.We have complete free will. Our souls don't go past death. We don't believe in oral Torah either.
We are the Essenes, We choose to live in poverty. We have water purifying rituals and study the Torah most the time.We avoid marriage. Its also hard to join our sect. We are stricter then the Pharisees too.
