The Essenes in the Jewish history refer to Second Temple Judaism. They lived in various cities but abstained from all pleasures. They also live in large numbers.
Jewish answer:
The Essenes were a small sect in Judea who eventually went extinct. They styled themselves "observant; pious ones." The normative, majority religious community viewed them as breakaways from the common stream of Jewish tradition, because of their beliefs and practices. Their beliefs included an excessive amount of dabbling with the names of angels, messianic fervor, gnosticism and eschatological speculation; and their practices were more like Christian monasticism than the generally accepted Jewish way of living. The practices of the Essenes included vegetarianism, dwelling in isolated groups, communal ownership, monastic asceticism and avoidance of money, commerce or private property, and (among some of them) celibacy. Also, they had some forms of non-traditional observances (such as round phylacteries [tefillin]). Some researchers identify the Essenes as a form of early Christianity, taking also into account the fact that early Christianity was far from uniform and was, for a time, thought of as a kind of modified Judaism.

What is the relationship between Essenes and the roman rule?
The Essenes were a Jewish sect during the Second Temple period, known for their ascetic lifestyle and apocalyptic beliefs. They largely withdrew from mainstream Jewish society, which they viewed as corrupt, and established communities such as Qumran near the Dead Sea. Their relationship with Roman rule was largely one of opposition; they were critical of the political and religious leadership that collaborated with Rome. While the Essenes sought to live a pious life apart from the influence of Rome, their existence and beliefs were indirectly shaped by the broader context of Roman occupation in Judea.

The sect's decline was likely due to the Roman conquest, societal changes, and the rise of other Jewish groups, notably the Pharisees. Ultimately, the Essenes faded from historical records and their distinct identity was lost.

Name four of the Jewish groups in judea and explain how they differed?
1. The Sadducee's- favored cooperation with Rome. 2. The Pharisees- believed that close observance of religion law would protect the Jewish identity from Roman influences. 3. The Essenes- Lived apart from society, sharing goods in common. Like many other Jews, they waited for God to save Israel from oppression. 4. The Zealots- Called for the violent overthrow of Roman rule. They caused a Jewish revolt, which began in A.D. 66, only to be crushed by the Romans four years later. That is when the Jewish temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. * COPIED FROM GLENCOE WORLD HISTORY BOOK*
