constitute but one psalm.

_Berachoth_ fol. 9, col. 2.

The former Chasidim used to sit still one hour, and then pray for one
hour, and then again sit still for one hour.

Ibid., fol. 32, col. 2.

All the benedictions in the Temple used to conclude with the words
"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel unto eternity;" but when the
Sadducees, corrupting the faith, maintained that there was only one
world, it was enacted that they should conclude with the words "from
eternity unto eternity."

_Berachoth_, fol. 54, col. i.

The Sadducees (Zadokim), so called after Zadok their master, as
is known, stood rigidly by the original Mosaic code, and set
themselves determinedly against all traditional developments. To
the Talmudists, therefore, they were especially obnoxious, and
their bald, cold creed is looked upon by them with something
like horror. It is thus the Talmud warns against them--"Believe
not in thyself till the day of thy death, for, behold, Yochanan,
after officiating in the High Priesthood for eighty years,
became in the end a Sadducee." (_Berachoth_, fol. 29, col. 1.)
In Derech Eretz Zuta, chap. i., a caution is given which might
well provoke attention--"Learn or inquire nothing of the
Sadducees, lest thou be drawn into hell."
