The Essenes offered no sacrifices in Yerushalyim, ever! The Dead Sea Scrolls bear this out!
The Damascus Document says that none of those who follow the Righteous Teacher, and have entered the renewed Covenant, ‘shall enter the sanctuary to light up Yah’s altar in Vain’!!
Instead, their righteous deeds and prayers will effect atonement!!

This was the 9th scroll, found in cave one, fragments 3,4 and 5.

Absolutely phenominal!!
