Regionalism and Assimilation

I'm definitely noticing regionalism causing different kind of types of assimilation among different people. I definitely see those two axes. And you get these different camps. You know, it's canalike manti, python, like the judean peoples front and the peoples from judea. But you getThese different camps who go about resisting in very different ways.

The pharisees are led by scribes, so people who copy the scriptures and sometimes study them, comment on them, try to teach them,.
