False. The Sanhedrin was re-established at Yavne after Jerusalem was sacked. Yavne being somewhat northwest of Jerusalem and almost on the Mediterranean coast.

Quote:After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Rabban Yochanan Ben Zakkai moved the Sanhedrin to Yavne. Some scholars believe the so-called Council of Yavne met there. The Sanhedrin left Yavne for Usha in 80 CE and returned in 116 CE.
Yes, yes very nice Minnie. But you do understand the what the Sanhedrin is right? The word means 'sitting together' it's a word that describes a consul of high ranking priests. Not just one sect of priest
The Saducees were not the only ruling class that sat on the Sanhedrin... After the Saducees were slaughtered the remaining Pharisees and esseans re established the "sitting together" of high ranking priests.
I believe Josephus is the historian who records the end of saducacial rule in 70 ad
