An interesting statement at 10:05 about the Sadducees adopting the "Pharisee use of t'fillin" which means that the whole concept of t'fillin was not an original Jewish practice but followed the Galuth Bavel.
" The Karaites; not only are they the followers and spiritual heirs of the Sadducees, but their physical descendants. Doctrines and practices adhered to and observed by a nation do not disappear at the desire of its leaders. Nor were the Sadducees annulled. The descendants of the once dominant party continued to live according to the traditions of their ancestors. "
@eretzsus While I don't reject out of hand the notion that almost all Qaraites are physical descendants of the Sadducees, I'll be more than happy if you share with us R. Revel's evidence for this if he has any.
"The Sadducees, (Karaites) whose existence as the priestly aristocracy and ruling class depended upon the state and the Temple, ceased to control the life of the people. But the religious differences between these two parties did not disappear."

@basselyrique Moreover, the evidence for the Sadduceean adoptation of Tefillin is inconclusive.

I've seen no proofs to support this claim.

Go to page 12 and read the second paragraph.
"The Sadducees, (Karaites) whose existence as the priestly aristocracy and ruling class depended upon the state and the Temple, ceased to control the life of the people. But the religious differences between these two parties did not disappear."

Sounds exactly like modern atheist, materialist.
