The Tzdukim (Sadducees) were a breakaway group who turned their back on the authority of the Torah sages. They continued in the ways of the Hellenising Jews. They were active in politics and intrigue and had no interest in the Torah.

At that time the Jewish courts still had the ability to enforce the Torah laws; and almost all Jews were Torah-observant; so, in order to avoid total rejection by the surrounding community, the Sadducees outwardly maintained a facade of keeping the major Torah precepts (such as the Sabbath), while ignoring the Oral Torah and customs and flouting the words of the Sages.

They went lost not long after.
