Summary
In 1666, Sabbatai Zevi ignited a messianic movement that collapsed when he converted under threat of death. Instead of ending, the belief went underground. That collapse evolved into Frankism, led by Jacob Frank, a secretive cult that taught redemption through deliberate transgression, moral inversion, and spiritual rebellion. In this episode, we examine the historical roots, disturbing beliefs, and lasting controversy surrounding the Frankist cult. uncensored discussions only on Patreon 👉 Patreon.com/StrangeBrewPodcast 🎧 Listen everywhere: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. 👕 Merch, updates, and madness: StrangeBrewPodcast.com FOLLOW ALL THE MADNESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
