They lived in communal settlements, such as Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. The Sadducees were a conservative Jewish sect focused on Temple worship and did not hold apocalyptic beliefs. The Sanhedrin was the Jewish council of elders, and while they did believe in a coming Messiah, they were not considered apocalyptic.
