The Gemara is primarily a collection of discussions and commentaries on the Mishnah, which is the codification of Jewish oral law. While it does mention events and figures from Jewish history, its main purpose is to interpret and analyze the laws and teachings of the Torah. The Gemara does emphasize repentance and obedience to God's commandments, as this is a fundamental aspect of Jewish law and practice.

Why did the Jewish people like the Pharisees?
This question does not specify time and the answer is different based on when this question takes place. If this is in reference to the Roman Period: The Pharisees were a populist movement, therefore they catered to the interests of the Jewish people. They opposed the Sadducees who represented elite interests and the Priestly class in general. Smaller movements like the Essenes were littered about, but the Pharisees were the most popular because they covered a large base. If this is in reference to anything after the Roman Period: The Jewish people ARE the Pharisees and Pharisaic Traditions. So the question at this point is more along the lines of "Why do the Jewish people like their own take on religion?" which is a nonsensical question. (If you didn't like your take on religion, you would change it.)
