Why did the Jewish sect of Pharisaism have a sandbox?
assistant
The sandbox is a place where the Pharisees would go to talk about religious matters. The Pharisees were a Jewish sect that was founded in the second century BCE, and their teachings focused on the Torah. They were considered the most conservative of the Jewish sects, and they were against the Hellenistic culture that was growing in the Roman Empire. They believed that the Torah should be the only source of Jewish law, and that it should be interpreted literally.
