Published: March 7, 2026
Duration: 1:55:20
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.
