Were Jesus’ teachings unique or was he part of a broader movement happening within Judaism at that time? (lemmit.online)

This question was mostly brought on by the fact that I recently learned of the existence of Hillel the Elder, a famous rabbi whose life overlapped with that of Jesus and, at least superficially, he seemed to have had a lot of similar teachings. Is that a coincidence? Or was Jesus influenced by some kind of cultural or theological shift that was already underway?
