| That conforms with what I've learned. The Pharisees are (were?) the
ancestors of rabbinic Judaism. The Sadducees were a liberal branch
that seems to have been assimilated into the Greek culture. The
Zealots were mostly wiped out in the war with Rome. The Essenes
didn't have children.
There is a small group of "Samaritans" in existance today. They
trace their ancestry from the residents of the former Northern
Kingdom who occupied the land after the 10 Lost Tribes were lost.

| Considering that the "Pharisees" existed 1900-2000 years ago, and that
most of the movements that now exist in modern Judaism have their
origins in the late 18th century through the early 20th century, this
is highly unlikely. The two exceptions are the Orthodox Movement and
Sephardic. The Orthodox movement is traditional Eastern European
Judaism. Sephardim have their origins 2500 years ago in the Babalonian
Exile.

I believe that no matter which branch of modern Judaism you go
to, the participants will claim to be descended from "Rabbinic"
Judaism, which is the modern word for Pharisee.

Dave,
I assumed that the reference in .0 was to individual branches, and not
to all forms of modern Judaism. If your inference is correct, then
your answer is indeed correct.
From my knowledge (limited in some areas), there was a fundamental
change after the destruction of the first Temple. The Babylonian exile
was the real beginning of Rabinnic Judaism. Therefore, "Pharisee" is
probably the wrong term for what you mean. That term tends to be
misused by some to justify some religious points of view.
