In addition to the Sadducees and the Pharisees, a third political group, the Essenes, emerged during the Hasmonean period The Essenes viewed both the Sadducees and the Pharisees as corrupters of Jewish law Many Essenes were celibate and viewed the world as a conflict between the spiritual (good) and the physical (bad) They were tremendously concerned with ritual purity The group that lived in Jerusalem kept itself separate from other Jews, fearing ritual contamination Some scholars believe that Essenes lived in small commune-like groups separate from the rest of the Jewish world There, they wore carefully washed white garments Some scholars believe that a desert commune found at Qumran by the Dead Sea was, in fact, an Essene community Whether it was connected to the Essenes or not, the Qumran Community was one of the most important archaeological finds of the past 50 years See Pharisees See Sadducees
