There's no way it was "EVERYBODY APPROVES OF THIS" in the time of Gamaliel, Hillel the Elder and Shammai, the family if John the Baptist, and Nicodemus.
There was a large enough population of decent Jews at this time they had to give Jesus the Messiah a midnight trial to avoid normies stoning them.
There are ritual cults, but they're more recent and post-date the Talmud and Zohar (based on violating Isaiah's warning against inversion) giving the poor Israelites awful deception. ("There's a curse if you calculate the Weeks of Daniel to see when Messiah will be born! The Temple between rejecting sacrifices when He would have been thirty-ish! We sure dislike it when anyone uses the Name of God to resurrect Himself! And descendants of David who are from families of carpenters! Not referring to anyone in particular of course. Don't ever read Isaiah 53 that says He's supposed to revive from the dead! Okay?! Redemption if the Jews will involve a two-horned animal like the sheep in the thorns who took the place of Isaac! When Jacob was buried, kings put their crowns in the bier making it look like a crown of thorns so the redemption of Israel will involve a crown of thorns! The Taanach says 'He lays the beams of His palace in the heavens' so God is a carpenter! Since Joseph was betrayed by Judah, Messiuah will be betrayed by someone film the tribe of Judah" (s Iscariot)) Orthodox Judaism is a huge cope but I feel kind of bad for them. (Those are all actual quotes from the Talmud, traditional halacha, or Orthodox Jewish blogs and websites. Mi Yodeya, Sefaria, Mayim Achronim. The last guy has written an entire blog about Jesus Christ without realizing it.
They're so tragic because like they come so close...
